502.59 is what percent of 545 - 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 545 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 545, so we can write it down as 100%=545.
4. We know, that x% equals 502.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=502.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=545
2) x%=502.59
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%=545/502.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 502.59 is what percent of 545

100%/x%=545/502.59
(100/x)*x=(545/502.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0843828965956*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0843828965956) to get x
100/1.0843828965956=x
92.218348623853=x
x=92.218348623853

now we have:
502.59 is 92.218348623853% of 545
