330.78 is what percent of 464 - 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 464 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 464, so we can write it down as 100%=464.
4. We know, that x% equals 330.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=330.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=464
2) x%=330.78
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%=464/330.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 330.78 is what percent of 464

100%/x%=464/330.78
(100/x)*x=(464/330.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4027450269061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4027450269061) to get x
100/1.4027450269061=x
71.288793103448=x
x=71.288793103448

now we have:
330.78 is 71.288793103448% of 464
