367.25 is what percent of 455 - 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 455 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 455, so we can write it down as 100%=455.
4. We know, that x% equals 367.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=367.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=455
2) x%=367.25
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%=455/367.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 367.25 is what percent of 455

100%/x%=455/367.25
(100/x)*x=(455/367.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2389380530973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2389380530973) to get x
100/1.2389380530973=x
80.714285714286=x
x=80.714285714286

now we have:
367.25 is 80.714285714286% of 455
