499.02 is what percent of 2445.04 - 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 2445.04 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 2445.04, so we can write it down as 100%=2445.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 499.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=499.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2445.04
2) x%=499.02
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%=2445.04/499.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 499.02 is what percent of 2445.04

100%/x%=2445.04/499.02
(100/x)*x=(2445.04/499.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8996833794237*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8996833794237) to get x
100/4.8996833794237=x
20.409482053463=x
x=20.409482053463

now we have:
499.02 is 20.409482053463% of 2445.04
