474.8 is what percent of 517.53 - 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 517.53 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 517.53, so we can write it down as 100%=517.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 474.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=474.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=517.53
2) x%=474.8
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%=517.53/474.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 474.8 is what percent of 517.53

100%/x%=517.53/474.8
(100/x)*x=(517.53/474.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0899957877001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0899957877001) to get x
100/1.0899957877001=x
91.743473808282=x
x=91.743473808282

now we have:
474.8 is 91.743473808282% of 517.53
