386.51 is what percent of 45000 - 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 45000 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 45000, so we can write it down as 100%=45000.
4. We know, that x% equals 386.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=386.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45000
2) x%=386.51
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%=45000/386.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 386.51 is what percent of 45000

100%/x%=45000/386.51
(100/x)*x=(45000/386.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=116.42648314403*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (116.42648314403) to get x
100/116.42648314403=x
0.85891111111111=x
x=0.85891111111111

now we have:
386.51 is 0.85891111111111% of 45000
