443.7 is what percent of 871.8 - 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 871.8 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 871.8, so we can write it down as 100%=871.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 443.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=443.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=871.8
2) x%=443.7
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%=871.8/443.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 443.7 is what percent of 871.8

100%/x%=871.8/443.7
(100/x)*x=(871.8/443.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9648411088573*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9648411088573) to get x
100/1.9648411088573=x
50.894700619408=x
x=50.894700619408

now we have:
443.7 is 50.894700619408% of 871.8
