459.02 is what percent of 470 - 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 470 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 470, so we can write it down as 100%=470.
4. We know, that x% equals 459.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=459.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=470
2) x%=459.02
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%=470/459.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 459.02 is what percent of 470

100%/x%=470/459.02
(100/x)*x=(470/459.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0239205263387*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0239205263387) to get x
100/1.0239205263387=x
97.663829787234=x
x=97.663829787234

now we have:
459.02 is 97.663829787234% of 470
