458.76 is what percent of 1232.17 - 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 1232.17 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 1232.17, so we can write it down as 100%=1232.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 458.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=458.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1232.17
2) x%=458.76
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%=1232.17/458.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 458.76 is what percent of 1232.17

100%/x%=1232.17/458.76
(100/x)*x=(1232.17/458.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6858706077252*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6858706077252) to get x
100/2.6858706077252=x
37.231875471729=x
x=37.231875471729

now we have:
458.76 is 37.231875471729% of 1232.17
