463.49 is what percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650, so we can write it down as 100%=650.
4. We know, that x% equals 463.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=463.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650
2) x%=463.49
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%=650/463.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 463.49 is what percent of 650

100%/x%=650/463.49
(100/x)*x=(650/463.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4024035038512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4024035038512) to get x
100/1.4024035038512=x
71.306153846154=x
x=71.306153846154

now we have:
463.49 is 71.306153846154% of 650
