199.29 is what percent of 580.94 - 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 580.94 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 580.94, so we can write it down as 100%=580.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 199.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=199.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=580.94
2) x%=199.29
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%=580.94/199.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 199.29 is what percent of 580.94

100%/x%=580.94/199.29
(100/x)*x=(580.94/199.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9150484218977*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9150484218977) to get x
100/2.9150484218977=x
34.304747478225=x
x=34.304747478225

now we have:
