673.24 is what percent of 52.71 - 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 52.71 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 52.71, so we can write it down as 100%=52.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 673.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=673.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52.71
2) x%=673.24
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%=52.71/673.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 673.24 is what percent of 52.71

100%/x%=52.71/673.24
(100/x)*x=(52.71/673.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.078293030717129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.078293030717129) to get x
100/0.078293030717129=x
1277.2528931891=x
x=1277.2528931891

now we have:
673.24 is 1277.2528931891% of 52.71
