472.36 is what percent of 2083.58 - 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 2083.58 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 2083.58, so we can write it down as 100%=2083.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 472.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=472.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2083.58
2) x%=472.36
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%=2083.58/472.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 472.36 is what percent of 2083.58

100%/x%=2083.58/472.36
(100/x)*x=(2083.58/472.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4110000846812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4110000846812) to get x
100/4.4110000846812=x
22.670595801457=x
x=22.670595801457

now we have:
472.36 is 22.670595801457% of 2083.58
