457.63 is what percent of 18305 - 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 18305 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 18305, so we can write it down as 100%=18305.
4. We know, that x% equals 457.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=457.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18305
2) x%=457.63
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%=18305/457.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 457.63 is what percent of 18305

100%/x%=18305/457.63
(100/x)*x=(18305/457.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.999562965715*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.999562965715) to get x
100/39.999562965715=x
2.5000273149413=x
x=2.5000273149413

now we have:
