What is 508 percent of 572 - 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 572 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 572 is 100%, so we can write it down as 572=100%.
4. We know, that x is 508% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=508%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 572=100%
2) x=508%
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:
572/x=100%/508%
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 508% of 572

572/x=100/508
(572/x)*x=(100/508)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
572=0.19685039370079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.19685039370079) to get x
572/0.19685039370079=x
2905.76=x
x=2905.76

now we have:
508% of 572=2905.76
