2477.5 is what percent of 435.78 - 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 435.78 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 435.78, so we can write it down as 100%=435.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 2477.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2477.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=435.78
2) x%=2477.5
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%=435.78/2477.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2477.5 is what percent of 435.78

100%/x%=435.78/2477.5
(100/x)*x=(435.78/2477.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.1758950554995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1758950554995) to get x
100/0.1758950554995=x
568.52081325439=x
x=568.52081325439

now we have:
