326.3 is what percent of 452.65 - 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 452.65 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 452.65, so we can write it down as 100%=452.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 326.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=326.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=452.65
2) x%=326.3
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%=452.65/326.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 326.3 is what percent of 452.65

100%/x%=452.65/326.3
(100/x)*x=(452.65/326.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3872203493717*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3872203493717) to get x
100/1.3872203493717=x
72.086601126698=x
x=72.086601126698

now we have:
326.3 is 72.086601126698% of 452.65
