365.3 is what percent of 470 - 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 470 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 470, so we can write it down as 100%=470.
4. We know, that x% equals 365.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=365.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=470
2) x%=365.3
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%=470/365.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 365.3 is what percent of 470

100%/x%=470/365.3
(100/x)*x=(470/365.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2866137421298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2866137421298) to get x
100/1.2866137421298=x
77.723404255319=x
x=77.723404255319

now we have:
365.3 is 77.723404255319% of 470
