447.3 is what percent of 1728 - 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 1728 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 1728, so we can write it down as 100%=1728.
4. We know, that x% equals 447.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=447.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1728
2) x%=447.3
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%=1728/447.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 447.3 is what percent of 1728

100%/x%=1728/447.3
(100/x)*x=(1728/447.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8631790744467*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8631790744467) to get x
100/3.8631790744467=x
25.885416666667=x
x=25.885416666667

now we have:
447.3 is 25.885416666667% of 1728
