467.04 is what percent of 556 - 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 556 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 556, so we can write it down as 100%=556.
4. We know, that x% equals 467.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=467.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=556
2) x%=467.04
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%=556/467.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 467.04 is what percent of 556

100%/x%=556/467.04
(100/x)*x=(556/467.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1904761904762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1904761904762) to get x
100/1.1904761904762=x
84=x
x=84

now we have:
467.04 is 84% of 556
