434.94 is what percent of 81500 - 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 81500 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 81500, so we can write it down as 100%=81500.
4. We know, that x% equals 434.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=434.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=81500
2) x%=434.94
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%=81500/434.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 434.94 is what percent of 81500

100%/x%=81500/434.94
(100/x)*x=(81500/434.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=187.38216765531*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (187.38216765531) to get x
100/187.38216765531=x
0.53366871165644=x
x=0.53366871165644

now we have:
