65.32 is what percent of 1170 - 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 1170 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 1170, so we can write it down as 100%=1170.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1170
2) x%=65.32
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%=1170/65.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.32 is what percent of 1170

100%/x%=1170/65.32
(100/x)*x=(1170/65.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.911818738518*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.911818738518) to get x
100/17.911818738518=x
5.582905982906=x
x=5.582905982906

now we have:
65.32 is 5.582905982906% of 1170
