28 is what percent of 453.3 - 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 453.3 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 453.3, so we can write it down as 100%=453.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=453.3
2) x%=28
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%=453.3/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 453.3

100%/x%=453.3/28
(100/x)*x=(453.3/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.189285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.189285714286) to get x
100/16.189285714286=x
6.1769247738804=x
x=6.1769247738804

now we have:
28 is 6.1769247738804% of 453.3
