608.45 is what percent of 2560 - 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 2560 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 2560, so we can write it down as 100%=2560.
4. We know, that x% equals 608.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=608.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2560
2) x%=608.45
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%=2560/608.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 608.45 is what percent of 2560

100%/x%=2560/608.45
(100/x)*x=(2560/608.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2074122770975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2074122770975) to get x
100/4.2074122770975=x
23.767578125=x
x=23.767578125

now we have:
608.45 is 23.767578125% of 2560
