457.75 is what percent of 546 - 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 546 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 546, so we can write it down as 100%=546.
4. We know, that x% equals 457.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=457.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=546
2) x%=457.75
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%=546/457.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 457.75 is what percent of 546

100%/x%=546/457.75
(100/x)*x=(546/457.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.192790824686*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.192790824686) to get x
100/1.192790824686=x
83.836996336996=x
x=83.836996336996

now we have:
457.75 is 83.836996336996% of 546
