419.24 is what percent of 550.41 - 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 550.41 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 550.41, so we can write it down as 100%=550.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 419.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=419.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=550.41
2) x%=419.24
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%=550.41/419.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 419.24 is what percent of 550.41

100%/x%=550.41/419.24
(100/x)*x=(550.41/419.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3128756798015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3128756798015) to get x
100/1.3128756798015=x
76.168674261005=x
x=76.168674261005

now we have:
419.24 is 76.168674261005% of 550.41
