658.8 is what percent of 21960 - 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 21960 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 21960, so we can write it down as 100%=21960.
4. We know, that x% equals 658.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=658.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21960
2) x%=658.8
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%=21960/658.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 658.8 is what percent of 21960

100%/x%=21960/658.8
(100/x)*x=(21960/658.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.333333333333) to get x
100/33.333333333333=x
3=x
x=3

now we have:
658.8 is 3% of 21960
