359.04 is what percent of 445 - 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 445 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 445, so we can write it down as 100%=445.
4. We know, that x% equals 359.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=359.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=445
2) x%=359.04
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%=445/359.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 359.04 is what percent of 445

100%/x%=445/359.04
(100/x)*x=(445/359.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2394162210339*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2394162210339) to get x
100/1.2394162210339=x
80.683146067416=x
x=80.683146067416

now we have:
359.04 is 80.683146067416% of 445
