447.65 is what percent of 498.39 - 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 498.39 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 498.39, so we can write it down as 100%=498.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 447.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=447.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=498.39
2) x%=447.65
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%=498.39/447.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 447.65 is what percent of 498.39

100%/x%=498.39/447.65
(100/x)*x=(498.39/447.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1133474812912*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1133474812912) to get x
100/1.1133474812912=x
89.819217881579=x
x=89.819217881579

now we have:
