360.85 is what percent of 454 - 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 454 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 454, so we can write it down as 100%=454.
4. We know, that x% equals 360.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=360.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=454
2) x%=360.85
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%=454/360.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.85 is what percent of 454

100%/x%=454/360.85
(100/x)*x=(454/360.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2581405015935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2581405015935) to get x
100/1.2581405015935=x
79.482378854626=x
x=79.482378854626

now we have:
360.85 is 79.482378854626% of 454
