454.8 is what percent of 1024 - 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 1024 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 1024, so we can write it down as 100%=1024.
4. We know, that x% equals 454.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=454.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1024
2) x%=454.8
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%=1024/454.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 454.8 is what percent of 1024

100%/x%=1024/454.8
(100/x)*x=(1024/454.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2515391380827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2515391380827) to get x
100/2.2515391380827=x
44.4140625=x
x=44.4140625

now we have:
454.8 is 44.4140625% of 1024
