325.9 is what percent of 604 - 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 604 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 604, so we can write it down as 100%=604.
4. We know, that x% equals 325.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=325.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=604
2) x%=325.9
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%=604/325.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 325.9 is what percent of 604

100%/x%=604/325.9
(100/x)*x=(604/325.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8533292420988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8533292420988) to get x
100/1.8533292420988=x
53.956953642384=x
x=53.956953642384

now we have:
325.9 is 53.956953642384% of 604
