Explanation:

_____________________________________

So, let's rewrite this statement as a question:

0.599 is "what percent" of: 0.319 ? ;

Set up an equation:

`0.599 = ((n)/(100)) *0.319` ;

↔
`((n)/(100)) * 0.319 = 0.599` ;

_____________________________________

Divide each side of the equation by: "(0.319)" ; as follows:

_____________________________________

`[ ((n)/(100)) * 0.319 ] / 0.319 = (0.599)/ (0.319)` ;

to get:

_____________________________________

`(n)/(100) = 1.87774294671` ;

_____________________________________

Now, multiply each side of the equation by "100" ;

to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "n" ;

_____________________________________

`100 * ((n)/(100)) = (1.87774294671) * 100` ;

_____________________________________

On the left-hand side of the equation; the "100's: cancel out to "1" ;

→ since: "
`((100)/(100) =1)`" ;

and we have:

→ n = 187.774294671 ;

round to three decimal places:

→ n = 187. 774 .

The answer is: 187.774 % .
