476.73 is what percent of 560.86 - 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 560.86 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 560.86, so we can write it down as 100%=560.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 476.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=476.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=560.86
2) x%=476.73
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%=560.86/476.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 476.73 is what percent of 560.86

100%/x%=560.86/476.73
(100/x)*x=(560.86/476.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1764730560275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1764730560275) to get x
100/1.1764730560275=x
84.999821702386=x
x=84.999821702386

now we have:
