337.06 is what percent of 465 - 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 465 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 465, so we can write it down as 100%=465.
4. We know, that x% equals 337.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=337.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=465
2) x%=337.06
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%=465/337.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 337.06 is what percent of 465

100%/x%=465/337.06
(100/x)*x=(465/337.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3795763365573*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3795763365573) to get x
100/1.3795763365573=x
72.486021505376=x
x=72.486021505376

now we have:
337.06 is 72.486021505376% of 465
