27.05 is what percent of 455 - 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 455 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 455, so we can write it down as 100%=455.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=455
2) x%=27.05
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%=455/27.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.05 is what percent of 455

100%/x%=455/27.05
(100/x)*x=(455/27.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.820702402957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.820702402957) to get x
100/16.820702402957=x
5.9450549450549=x
x=5.9450549450549

now we have:
27.05 is 5.9450549450549% of 455
