34.76 is what percent of 452 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=452.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=452
2) x%=34.76
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%=452/34.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.76 is what percent of 452

100%/x%=452/34.76
(100/x)*x=(452/34.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.003452243959*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.003452243959) to get x
100/13.003452243959=x
7.6902654867257=x
x=7.6902654867257

now we have:
34.76 is 7.6902654867257% of 452
