462.8 is what percent of 3054.05 - 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 3054.05 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 3054.05, so we can write it down as 100%=3054.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 462.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=462.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3054.05
2) x%=462.8
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%=3054.05/462.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 462.8 is what percent of 3054.05

100%/x%=3054.05/462.8
(100/x)*x=(3054.05/462.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5990708729473*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5990708729473) to get x
100/6.5990708729473=x
15.153648434047=x
x=15.153648434047

now we have:
462.8 is 15.153648434047% of 3054.05
