1451.46 is what percent of 1423 - 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 1423 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 1423, so we can write it down as 100%=1423.
4. We know, that x% equals 1451.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1451.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1423
2) x%=1451.46
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%=1423/1451.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1451.46 is what percent of 1423

100%/x%=1423/1451.46
(100/x)*x=(1423/1451.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98039215686275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98039215686275) to get x
100/0.98039215686275=x
102=x
x=102

now we have:
1451.46 is 102% of 1423
