432.63 is what percent of 465 - 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 465 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 465, so we can write it down as 100%=465.
4. We know, that x% equals 432.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=432.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=465
2) x%=432.63
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%=465/432.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 432.63 is what percent of 465

100%/x%=465/432.63
(100/x)*x=(465/432.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0748214409542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0748214409542) to get x
100/1.0748214409542=x
93.038709677419=x
x=93.038709677419

now we have:
432.63 is 93.038709677419% of 465
