445.44 is what percent of 768 - 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 768 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 768, so we can write it down as 100%=768.
4. We know, that x% equals 445.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=445.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=768
2) x%=445.44
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%=768/445.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 445.44 is what percent of 768

100%/x%=768/445.44
(100/x)*x=(768/445.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7241379310345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7241379310345) to get x
100/1.7241379310345=x
58=x
x=58

now we have:
445.44 is 58% of 768
