65.36 is what percent of 583.73 - 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 583.73 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 583.73, so we can write it down as 100%=583.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=583.73
2) x%=65.36
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%=583.73/65.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.36 is what percent of 583.73

100%/x%=583.73/65.36
(100/x)*x=(583.73/65.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9309975520196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9309975520196) to get x
100/8.9309975520196=x
11.196957497473=x
x=11.196957497473

now we have:
