616.8 is what percent of 1616.8 - 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 1616.8 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 1616.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1616.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 616.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=616.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1616.8
2) x%=616.8
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%=1616.8/616.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 616.8 is what percent of 1616.8

100%/x%=1616.8/616.8
(100/x)*x=(1616.8/616.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.621271076524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.621271076524) to get x
100/2.621271076524=x
38.149430974765=x
x=38.149430974765

now we have:
616.8 is 38.149430974765% of 1616.8
