412.67 is what percent of 422 - 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 422 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 422, so we can write it down as 100%=422.
4. We know, that x% equals 412.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=412.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=422
2) x%=412.67
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%=422/412.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 412.67 is what percent of 422

100%/x%=422/412.67
(100/x)*x=(422/412.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0226088642257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0226088642257) to get x
100/1.0226088642257=x
97.789099526066=x
x=97.789099526066

now we have:
412.67 is 97.789099526066% of 422
