632.2 is what percent of 580 - 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 580 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 580, so we can write it down as 100%=580.
4. We know, that x% equals 632.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=632.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=580
2) x%=632.2
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%=580/632.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 632.2 is what percent of 580

100%/x%=580/632.2
(100/x)*x=(580/632.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91743119266055*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91743119266055) to get x
100/0.91743119266055=x
109=x
x=109

now we have:
632.2 is 109% of 580
