387.51 is what percent of 430 - 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 430 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 430, so we can write it down as 100%=430.
4. We know, that x% equals 387.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=387.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=430
2) x%=387.51
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%=430/387.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 387.51 is what percent of 430

100%/x%=430/387.51
(100/x)*x=(430/387.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1096487832572*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1096487832572) to get x
100/1.1096487832572=x
90.118604651163=x
x=90.118604651163

now we have:
387.51 is 90.118604651163% of 430
