What is 355.44 percent of 489.5 - 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 489.5 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 489.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 489.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 355.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=355.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 489.5=100%
2) x=355.44%
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:
489.5/x=100%/355.44%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 355.44% of 489.5

489.5/x=100/355.44
(489.5/x)*x=(100/355.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
489.5=0.28134143596669*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28134143596669) to get x
489.5/0.28134143596669=x
1739.8788=x
x=1739.8788

now we have:
355.44% of 489.5=1739.8788
