What is 45.375 percent of 659.17 - 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 659.17 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 659.17 is 100%, so we can write it down as 659.17=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 659.17=100%
2) x=45.375%
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:
659.17/x=100%/45.375%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 45.375% of 659.17

659.17/x=100/45.375
(659.17/x)*x=(100/45.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
659.17=2.2038567493113*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2038567493113) to get x
659.17/2.2038567493113=x
299.0983875=x
x=299.0983875

now we have:
45.375% of 659.17=299.0983875
