237442.41 is what percent of 450 - 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 450 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 450, so we can write it down as 100%=450.
4. We know, that x% equals 237442.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=237442.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=450
2) x%=237442.41
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%=450/237442.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 237442.41 is what percent of 450

100%/x%=450/237442.41
(100/x)*x=(450/237442.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0018951963973075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0018951963973075) to get x
100/0.0018951963973075=x
52764.98=x
x=52764.98

now we have:
