588.12 is what percent of 1.45 - 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 1.45 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 1.45, so we can write it down as 100%=1.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 588.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=588.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.45
2) x%=588.12
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%=1.45/588.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 588.12 is what percent of 1.45

100%/x%=1.45/588.12
(100/x)*x=(1.45/588.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.002465483234714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.002465483234714) to get x
100/0.002465483234714=x
40560=x
x=40560

now we have:
588.12 is 40560% of 1.45
