400.73 is what percent of 935.04 - 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 935.04 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 935.04, so we can write it down as 100%=935.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 400.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=400.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=935.04
2) x%=400.73
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%=935.04/400.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 400.73 is what percent of 935.04

100%/x%=935.04/400.73
(100/x)*x=(935.04/400.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.333341651486*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.333341651486) to get x
100/2.333341651486=x
42.856990075291=x
x=42.856990075291

now we have:
400.73 is 42.856990075291% of 935.04
