448.27 is what percent of 465 - 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 465 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 465, so we can write it down as 100%=465.
4. We know, that x% equals 448.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=448.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=465
2) x%=448.27
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%=465/448.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 448.27 is what percent of 465

100%/x%=465/448.27
(100/x)*x=(465/448.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.037321257278*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.037321257278) to get x
100/1.037321257278=x
96.402150537634=x
x=96.402150537634

now we have:
448.27 is 96.402150537634% of 465
