478.25 is what percent of 2033 - 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 2033 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 2033, so we can write it down as 100%=2033.
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%=2033
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%=2033/478.25
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 2033

100%/x%=2033/478.25
(100/x)*x=(2033/478.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.250914793518*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.250914793518) to get x
100/4.250914793518=x
23.524348253812=x
x=23.524348253812

now we have:
478.25 is 23.524348253812% of 2033
