27.43 is what percent of 453 - 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 453 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 453, so we can write it down as 100%=453.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=453
2) x%=27.43
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%=453/27.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.43 is what percent of 453

100%/x%=453/27.43
(100/x)*x=(453/27.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.514764855997*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.514764855997) to get x
100/16.514764855997=x
6.0551876379691=x
x=6.0551876379691

now we have:
27.43 is 6.0551876379691% of 453
