677.56 is what percent of 3125 - 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 3125 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 3125, so we can write it down as 100%=3125.
4. We know, that x% equals 677.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=677.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3125
2) x%=677.56
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%=3125/677.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 677.56 is what percent of 3125

100%/x%=3125/677.56
(100/x)*x=(3125/677.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6121376704646*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6121376704646) to get x
100/4.6121376704646=x
21.68192=x
x=21.68192

now we have:
677.56 is 21.68192% of 3125
