10.47 is what percent of 409.54 - 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 409.54 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 409.54, so we can write it down as 100%=409.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=409.54
2) x%=10.47
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%=409.54/10.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.47 is what percent of 409.54

100%/x%=409.54/10.47
(100/x)*x=(409.54/10.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.115568290353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.115568290353) to get x
100/39.115568290353=x
2.5565268349856=x
x=2.5565268349856

now we have:
10.47 is 2.5565268349856% of 409.54
