370.17 is what percent of 453 - 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 453 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 453, so we can write it down as 100%=453.
4. We know, that x% equals 370.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=370.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=453
2) x%=370.17
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%=453/370.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 370.17 is what percent of 453

100%/x%=453/370.17
(100/x)*x=(453/370.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2237620552719*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2237620552719) to get x
100/1.2237620552719=x
81.715231788079=x
x=81.715231788079

now we have:
370.17 is 81.715231788079% of 453
