430 is what percent of 1157.73 - 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 1157.73 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 1157.73, so we can write it down as 100%=1157.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 430 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=430.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1157.73
2) x%=430
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%=1157.73/430
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 430 is what percent of 1157.73

100%/x%=1157.73/430
(100/x)*x=(1157.73/430)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6923953488372*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6923953488372) to get x
100/2.6923953488372=x
37.141647879903=x
x=37.141647879903

now we have:
