360.47 is what percent of 450 - 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 450 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 450, so we can write it down as 100%=450.
4. We know, that x% equals 360.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=360.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=450
2) x%=360.47
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%=450/360.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.47 is what percent of 450

100%/x%=450/360.47
(100/x)*x=(450/360.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2483701833717*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2483701833717) to get x
100/1.2483701833717=x
80.104444444444=x
x=80.104444444444

now we have:
360.47 is 80.104444444444% of 450
