448.04 is what percent of 487 - 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 487 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 487, so we can write it down as 100%=487.
4. We know, that x% equals 448.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=448.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=487
2) x%=448.04
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%=487/448.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 448.04 is what percent of 487

100%/x%=487/448.04
(100/x)*x=(487/448.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0869565217391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0869565217391) to get x
100/1.0869565217391=x
92=x
x=92

now we have:
448.04 is 92% of 487
