449.47 is what percent of 5.874 - 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 5.874 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 5.874, so we can write it down as 100%=5.874.
4. We know, that x% equals 449.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=449.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.874
2) x%=449.47
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%=5.874/449.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 449.47 is what percent of 5.874

100%/x%=5.874/449.47
(100/x)*x=(5.874/449.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.013068725387679*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.013068725387679) to get x
100/0.013068725387679=x
7651.8556350017=x
x=7651.8556350017

now we have:
449.47 is 7651.8556350017% of 5.874
