0.45 is what percent of 76.19 - 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 76.19 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 76.19, so we can write it down as 100%=76.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76.19
2) x%=0.45
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%=76.19/0.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.45 is what percent of 76.19

100%/x%=76.19/0.45
(100/x)*x=(76.19/0.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=169.31111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (169.31111111111) to get x
100/169.31111111111=x
0.59062869142932=x
x=0.59062869142932

now we have:
0.45 is 0.59062869142932% of 76.19
