427.79 is what percent of 470.83 - 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 470.83 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 470.83, so we can write it down as 100%=470.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 427.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=427.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=470.83
2) x%=427.79
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%=470.83/427.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 427.79 is what percent of 470.83

100%/x%=470.83/427.79
(100/x)*x=(470.83/427.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1006101124383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1006101124383) to get x
100/1.1006101124383=x
90.858696344753=x
x=90.858696344753

now we have:
