454.14 is what percent of 492.67 - 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 492.67 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 492.67, so we can write it down as 100%=492.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 454.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=454.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=492.67
2) x%=454.14
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%=492.67/454.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 454.14 is what percent of 492.67

100%/x%=492.67/454.14
(100/x)*x=(492.67/454.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0848416787775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0848416787775) to get x
100/1.0848416787775=x
92.179349260154=x
x=92.179349260154

now we have:
