484.5 is what percent of 1820 - 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 1820 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 1820, so we can write it down as 100%=1820.
4. We know, that x% equals 484.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=484.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1820
2) x%=484.5
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%=1820/484.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 484.5 is what percent of 1820

100%/x%=1820/484.5
(100/x)*x=(1820/484.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7564499484004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7564499484004) to get x
100/3.7564499484004=x
26.620879120879=x
x=26.620879120879

now we have:
484.5 is 26.620879120879% of 1820
