473.35 is what percent of 535 - 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 535 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 535, so we can write it down as 100%=535.
4. We know, that x% equals 473.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=473.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=535
2) x%=473.35
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%=535/473.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 473.35 is what percent of 535

100%/x%=535/473.35
(100/x)*x=(535/473.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1302418928911*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1302418928911) to get x
100/1.1302418928911=x
88.476635514019=x
x=88.476635514019

now we have:
473.35 is 88.476635514019% of 535
