504.65 is what percent of 580 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=580.
4. We know, that x% equals 504.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=504.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=580
2) x%=504.65
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%=580/504.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 504.65 is what percent of 580

100%/x%=580/504.65
(100/x)*x=(580/504.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1493114039433*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1493114039433) to get x
100/1.1493114039433=x
87.008620689655=x
x=87.008620689655

now we have:
504.65 is 87.008620689655% of 580
