265.51 is what percent of 477.04 - 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 477.04 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 477.04, so we can write it down as 100%=477.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 265.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=265.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=477.04
2) x%=265.51
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%=477.04/265.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 265.51 is what percent of 477.04

100%/x%=477.04/265.51
(100/x)*x=(477.04/265.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7966931565666*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7966931565666) to get x
100/1.7966931565666=x
55.657806473252=x
x=55.657806473252

now we have:
265.51 is 55.657806473252% of 477.04
