469.93 is what percent of 1182 - 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 1182 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 1182, so we can write it down as 100%=1182.
4. We know, that x% equals 469.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=469.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1182
2) x%=469.93
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%=1182/469.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 469.93 is what percent of 1182

100%/x%=1182/469.93
(100/x)*x=(1182/469.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5152682314387*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5152682314387) to get x
100/2.5152682314387=x
39.757191201354=x
x=39.757191201354

now we have:
469.93 is 39.757191201354% of 1182
