615.74 is what percent of 59.25 - 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 59.25 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 59.25, so we can write it down as 100%=59.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 615.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=615.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59.25
2) x%=615.74
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%=59.25/615.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 615.74 is what percent of 59.25

100%/x%=59.25/615.74
(100/x)*x=(59.25/615.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.096225679669991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.096225679669991) to get x
100/0.096225679669991=x
1039.223628692=x
x=1039.223628692

now we have:
615.74 is 1039.223628692% of 59.25
