478.25 is what percent of 1913.3 - 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 1913.3 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 1913.3, so we can write it down as 100%=1913.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 478.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=478.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1913.3
2) x%=478.25
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%=1913.3/478.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 478.25 is what percent of 1913.3

100%/x%=1913.3/478.25
(100/x)*x=(1913.3/478.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0006272869838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0006272869838) to get x
100/4.0006272869838=x
24.996080071081=x
x=24.996080071081

now we have:
478.25 is 24.996080071081% of 1913.3
