624.5 is what percent of 1434 - 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 1434 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 1434, so we can write it down as 100%=1434.
4. We know, that x% equals 624.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=624.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1434
2) x%=624.5
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%=1434/624.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 624.5 is what percent of 1434

100%/x%=1434/624.5
(100/x)*x=(1434/624.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2962369895917*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2962369895917) to get x
100/2.2962369895917=x
43.549511854951=x
x=43.549511854951

now we have:
624.5 is 43.549511854951% of 1434
