471.07 is what percent of 1624.39 - 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 1624.39 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 1624.39, so we can write it down as 100%=1624.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 471.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=471.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1624.39
2) x%=471.07
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%=1624.39/471.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 471.07 is what percent of 1624.39

100%/x%=1624.39/471.07
(100/x)*x=(1624.39/471.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.448298554355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.448298554355) to get x
100/3.448298554355=x
28.99980915913=x
x=28.99980915913

now we have:
