99.04 is what percent of 512 - 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 512 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 512, so we can write it down as 100%=512.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=512
2) x%=99.04
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%=512/99.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.04 is what percent of 512

100%/x%=512/99.04
(100/x)*x=(512/99.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1696284329564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1696284329564) to get x
100/5.1696284329564=x
19.34375=x
x=19.34375

now we have:
99.04 is 19.34375% of 512
