522.08 is what percent of 562 - 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 562 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 562, so we can write it down as 100%=562.
4. We know, that x% equals 522.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=522.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=562
2) x%=522.08
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%=562/522.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 522.08 is what percent of 562

100%/x%=562/522.08
(100/x)*x=(562/522.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0764633772602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0764633772602) to get x
100/1.0764633772602=x
92.896797153025=x
x=92.896797153025

now we have:
522.08 is 92.896797153025% of 562
