314.83 is what percent of 404 - 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 404 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 404, so we can write it down as 100%=404.
4. We know, that x% equals 314.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=314.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=404
2) x%=314.83
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%=404/314.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 314.83 is what percent of 404

100%/x%=404/314.83
(100/x)*x=(404/314.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2832322205635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2832322205635) to get x
100/1.2832322205635=x
77.928217821782=x
x=77.928217821782

now we have:
314.83 is 77.928217821782% of 404
