356.02 is what percent of 460 - 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 460 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 460, so we can write it down as 100%=460.
4. We know, that x% equals 356.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=356.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=460
2) x%=356.02
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%=460/356.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 356.02 is what percent of 460

100%/x%=460/356.02
(100/x)*x=(460/356.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2920622436942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2920622436942) to get x
100/1.2920622436942=x
77.395652173913=x
x=77.395652173913

now we have:
356.02 is 77.395652173913% of 460
