621.49 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 621.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=621.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=621.49
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%=1500/621.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 621.49 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/621.49
(100/x)*x=(1500/621.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4135545221967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4135545221967) to get x
100/2.4135545221967=x
41.432666666667=x
x=41.432666666667

now we have:
621.49 is 41.432666666667% of 1500
