45 is what percent of 1448 - 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 1448 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 1448, so we can write it down as 100%=1448.
4. We know, that x% equals 45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1448
2) x%=45
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%=1448/45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45 is what percent of 1448

100%/x%=1448/45
(100/x)*x=(1448/45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.177777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.177777777778) to get x
100/32.177777777778=x
3.1077348066298=x
x=3.1077348066298

now we have:
45 is 3.1077348066298% of 1448
