593.77 is what percent of 3500 - 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 3500 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 3500, so we can write it down as 100%=3500.
4. We know, that x% equals 593.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=593.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3500
2) x%=593.77
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%=3500/593.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 593.77 is what percent of 3500

100%/x%=3500/593.77
(100/x)*x=(3500/593.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8945382892366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8945382892366) to get x
100/5.8945382892366=x
16.964857142857=x
x=16.964857142857

now we have:
593.77 is 16.964857142857% of 3500
