424.25 is what percent of 954.1 - 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 954.1 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 954.1, so we can write it down as 100%=954.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 424.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=424.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=954.1
2) x%=424.25
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%=954.1/424.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 424.25 is what percent of 954.1

100%/x%=954.1/424.25
(100/x)*x=(954.1/424.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2489098408957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2489098408957) to get x
100/2.2489098408957=x
44.465988890053=x
x=44.465988890053

now we have:
424.25 is 44.465988890053% of 954.1
