607.5 is what percent of 1350 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1350 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1350, so we can write it down as 100%=1350.
4. We know, that x% equals 607.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=607.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1350
2) x%=607.5
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1350/607.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 607.5 is what percent of 1350

100%/x%=1350/607.5
(100/x)*x=(1350/607.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2222222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2222222222222) to get x
100/2.2222222222222=x
45=x
x=45

now we have:
607.5 is 45% of 1350
