806.5 is what percent of 1331 - 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 1331 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 1331, so we can write it down as 100%=1331.
4. We know, that x% equals 806.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=806.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1331
2) x%=806.5
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%=1331/806.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 806.5 is what percent of 1331

100%/x%=1331/806.5
(100/x)*x=(1331/806.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6503409795412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6503409795412) to get x
100/1.6503409795412=x
60.593538692712=x
x=60.593538692712

now we have:
806.5 is 60.593538692712% of 1331
