470.66 is what percent of 2125.2 - 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 2125.2 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 2125.2, so we can write it down as 100%=2125.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 470.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=470.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2125.2
2) x%=470.66
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%=2125.2/470.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 470.66 is what percent of 2125.2

100%/x%=2125.2/470.66
(100/x)*x=(2125.2/470.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5153614073854*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5153614073854) to get x
100/4.5153614073854=x
22.146621494448=x
x=22.146621494448

now we have:
