286.75 is what percent of 481.44 - 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 481.44 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 481.44, so we can write it down as 100%=481.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 286.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=286.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=481.44
2) x%=286.75
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%=481.44/286.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 286.75 is what percent of 481.44

100%/x%=481.44/286.75
(100/x)*x=(481.44/286.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6789537925022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6789537925022) to get x
100/1.6789537925022=x
59.560900631439=x
x=59.560900631439

now we have:
