370.64 is what percent of 460 - 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 460 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 460, so we can write it down as 100%=460.
4. We know, that x% equals 370.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=370.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=460
2) x%=370.64
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%=460/370.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 370.64 is what percent of 460

100%/x%=460/370.64
(100/x)*x=(460/370.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2410964817613*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2410964817613) to get x
100/1.2410964817613=x
80.573913043478=x
x=80.573913043478

now we have:
370.64 is 80.573913043478% of 460
