406.93 is what percent of 476 - 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 476 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 476, so we can write it down as 100%=476.
4. We know, that x% equals 406.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=406.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=476
2) x%=406.93
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%=476/406.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 406.93 is what percent of 476

100%/x%=476/406.93
(100/x)*x=(476/406.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1697343523456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1697343523456) to get x
100/1.1697343523456=x
85.489495798319=x
x=85.489495798319

now we have:
406.93 is 85.489495798319% of 476
