494.4 is what percent of 147 - 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 147 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 147, so we can write it down as 100%=147.
4. We know, that x% equals 494.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=494.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=147
2) x%=494.4
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%=147/494.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 494.4 is what percent of 147

100%/x%=147/494.4
(100/x)*x=(147/494.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.29733009708738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.29733009708738) to get x
100/0.29733009708738=x
336.32653061224=x
x=336.32653061224

now we have:
494.4 is 336.32653061224% of 147
