448.09 is what percent of 2980.75 - 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 2980.75 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 2980.75, so we can write it down as 100%=2980.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 448.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=448.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2980.75
2) x%=448.09
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%=2980.75/448.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 448.09 is what percent of 2980.75

100%/x%=2980.75/448.09
(100/x)*x=(2980.75/448.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6521234573412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6521234573412) to get x
100/6.6521234573412=x
15.03279375996=x
x=15.03279375996

now we have:
448.09 is 15.03279375996% of 2980.75
