696.4 is what percent of 1.537 - 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 1.537 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 1.537, so we can write it down as 100%=1.537.
4. We know, that x% equals 696.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=696.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.537
2) x%=696.4
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%=1.537/696.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 696.4 is what percent of 1.537

100%/x%=1.537/696.4
(100/x)*x=(1.537/696.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0022070649052269*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0022070649052269) to get x
100/0.0022070649052269=x
45309.043591412=x
x=45309.043591412

now we have:
696.4 is 45309.043591412% of 1.537
