374.4 is what percent of 1484.8 - 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 1484.8 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 1484.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1484.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 374.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=374.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1484.8
2) x%=374.4
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%=1484.8/374.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 374.4 is what percent of 1484.8

100%/x%=1484.8/374.4
(100/x)*x=(1484.8/374.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.965811965812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.965811965812) to get x
100/3.965811965812=x
25.215517241379=x
x=25.215517241379

now we have:
374.4 is 25.215517241379% of 1484.8
