304.5 is what percent of 1383 - 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 1383 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 1383, so we can write it down as 100%=1383.
4. We know, that x% equals 304.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=304.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1383
2) x%=304.5
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%=1383/304.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 304.5 is what percent of 1383

100%/x%=1383/304.5
(100/x)*x=(1383/304.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5418719211823*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5418719211823) to get x
100/4.5418719211823=x
22.017353579176=x
x=22.017353579176

now we have:
304.5 is 22.017353579176% of 1383
