309.97 is what percent of 62.07 - 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 62.07 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 62.07, so we can write it down as 100%=62.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 309.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=309.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62.07
2) x%=309.97
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%=62.07/309.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 309.97 is what percent of 62.07

100%/x%=62.07/309.97
(100/x)*x=(62.07/309.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.2002451850179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.2002451850179) to get x
100/0.2002451850179=x
499.38778798131=x
x=499.38778798131

now we have:
309.97 is 499.38778798131% of 62.07
