601.58 is what percent of 751.5 - 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 751.5 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 751.5, so we can write it down as 100%=751.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 601.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=601.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=751.5
2) x%=601.58
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%=751.5/601.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 601.58 is what percent of 751.5

100%/x%=751.5/601.58
(100/x)*x=(751.5/601.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2492104125802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2492104125802) to get x
100/1.2492104125802=x
80.050565535595=x
x=80.050565535595

now we have:
601.58 is 80.050565535595% of 751.5
