367.5 is what percent of 464 - 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 464 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 464, so we can write it down as 100%=464.
4. We know, that x% equals 367.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=367.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=464
2) x%=367.5
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%=464/367.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 367.5 is what percent of 464

100%/x%=464/367.5
(100/x)*x=(464/367.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2625850340136*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2625850340136) to get x
100/1.2625850340136=x
79.202586206897=x
x=79.202586206897

now we have:
367.5 is 79.202586206897% of 464
