425.36 is what percent of 447 - 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 447 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 447, so we can write it down as 100%=447.
4. We know, that x% equals 425.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=425.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=447
2) x%=425.36
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%=447/425.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 425.36 is what percent of 447

100%/x%=447/425.36
(100/x)*x=(447/425.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0508745533195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0508745533195) to get x
100/1.0508745533195=x
95.158836689038=x
x=95.158836689038

now we have:
425.36 is 95.158836689038% of 447
