449.75 is what percent of 1023 - 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 1023 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 1023, so we can write it down as 100%=1023.
4. We know, that x% equals 449.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=449.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1023
2) x%=449.75
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%=1023/449.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 449.75 is what percent of 1023

100%/x%=1023/449.75
(100/x)*x=(1023/449.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2745969983324*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2745969983324) to get x
100/2.2745969983324=x
43.963831867058=x
x=43.963831867058

now we have:
449.75 is 43.963831867058% of 1023
