829.5 is what percent of 1675.5 - 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 1675.5 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 1675.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1675.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 829.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=829.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1675.5
2) x%=829.5
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%=1675.5/829.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 829.5 is what percent of 1675.5

100%/x%=1675.5/829.5
(100/x)*x=(1675.5/829.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0198915009042*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0198915009042) to get x
100/2.0198915009042=x
49.507609668756=x
x=49.507609668756

now we have:
829.5 is 49.507609668756% of 1675.5
