10.5 is what percent of 467 - 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 467 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 467, so we can write it down as 100%=467.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=467
2) x%=10.5
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%=467/10.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.5 is what percent of 467

100%/x%=467/10.5
(100/x)*x=(467/10.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.47619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.47619047619) to get x
100/44.47619047619=x
2.2483940042827=x
x=2.2483940042827

now we have:
10.5 is 2.2483940042827% of 467
