691.19 is what percent of 1516.7 - 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 1516.7 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 1516.7, so we can write it down as 100%=1516.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 691.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=691.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1516.7
2) x%=691.19
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%=1516.7/691.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 691.19 is what percent of 1516.7

100%/x%=1516.7/691.19
(100/x)*x=(1516.7/691.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1943315152129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1943315152129) to get x
100/2.1943315152129=x
45.571965451309=x
x=45.571965451309

now we have:
