455.77 is what percent of 45000 - 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 45000 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 45000, so we can write it down as 100%=45000.
4. We know, that x% equals 455.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=455.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45000
2) x%=455.77
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%=45000/455.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 455.77 is what percent of 45000

100%/x%=45000/455.77
(100/x)*x=(45000/455.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=98.73401057551*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (98.73401057551) to get x
100/98.73401057551=x
1.0128222222222=x
x=1.0128222222222

now we have:
455.77 is 1.0128222222222% of 45000
