455.14 is what percent of 548.08 - 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 548.08 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 548.08, so we can write it down as 100%=548.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 455.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=455.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=548.08
2) x%=455.14
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%=548.08/455.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 455.14 is what percent of 548.08

100%/x%=548.08/455.14
(100/x)*x=(548.08/455.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.204200905216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.204200905216) to get x
100/1.204200905216=x
83.042621515107=x
x=83.042621515107

now we have:
455.14 is 83.042621515107% of 548.08
