607.75 is what percent of 525 - 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 525 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 525, so we can write it down as 100%=525.
4. We know, that x% equals 607.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=607.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=525
2) x%=607.75
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%=525/607.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 607.75 is what percent of 525

100%/x%=525/607.75
(100/x)*x=(525/607.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.86384204031263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.86384204031263) to get x
100/0.86384204031263=x
115.7619047619=x
x=115.7619047619

now we have:
607.75 is 115.7619047619% of 525
