113.8 is what percent of 464.8 - 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 464.8 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 464.8, so we can write it down as 100%=464.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=464.8
2) x%=113.8
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%=464.8/113.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.8 is what percent of 464.8

100%/x%=464.8/113.8
(100/x)*x=(464.8/113.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0843585237258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0843585237258) to get x
100/4.0843585237258=x
24.483648881239=x
x=24.483648881239

now we have:
113.8 is 24.483648881239% of 464.8
