650.12 is what percent of 1388.86 - 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 1388.86 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 1388.86, so we can write it down as 100%=1388.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 650.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=650.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1388.86
2) x%=650.12
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%=1388.86/650.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 650.12 is what percent of 1388.86

100%/x%=1388.86/650.12
(100/x)*x=(1388.86/650.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1363132960069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1363132960069) to get x
100/2.1363132960069=x
46.809613639964=x
x=46.809613639964

now we have:
650.12 is 46.809613639964% of 1388.86
