50.7 is what percent of 573.74 - 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 573.74 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 573.74, so we can write it down as 100%=573.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=573.74
2) x%=50.7
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%=573.74/50.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.7 is what percent of 573.74

100%/x%=573.74/50.7
(100/x)*x=(573.74/50.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.316370808679*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.316370808679) to get x
100/11.316370808679=x
8.8367553247115=x
x=8.8367553247115

now we have:
50.7 is 8.8367553247115% of 573.74
