440.09 is what percent of 374.08 - 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 374.08 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 374.08, so we can write it down as 100%=374.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 440.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=440.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=374.08
2) x%=440.09
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%=374.08/440.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 440.09 is what percent of 374.08

100%/x%=374.08/440.09
(100/x)*x=(374.08/440.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.85000795291872*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.85000795291872) to get x
100/0.85000795291872=x
117.64595808383=x
x=117.64595808383

now we have:
440.09 is 117.64595808383% of 374.08
