485.05 is what percent of 595 - 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 595 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 595, so we can write it down as 100%=595.
4. We know, that x% equals 485.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=485.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=595
2) x%=485.05
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%=595/485.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 485.05 is what percent of 595

100%/x%=595/485.05
(100/x)*x=(595/485.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2266776620967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2266776620967) to get x
100/1.2266776620967=x
81.521008403361=x
x=81.521008403361

now we have:
485.05 is 81.521008403361% of 595
