449.25 is what percent of 1214 - 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 1214 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 1214, so we can write it down as 100%=1214.
4. We know, that x% equals 449.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=449.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1214
2) x%=449.25
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%=1214/449.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 449.25 is what percent of 1214

100%/x%=1214/449.25
(100/x)*x=(1214/449.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7022815804118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7022815804118) to get x
100/2.7022815804118=x
37.005766062603=x
x=37.005766062603

now we have:
449.25 is 37.005766062603% of 1214
