538.38 is what percent of 467 - 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 467 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 467, so we can write it down as 100%=467.
4. We know, that x% equals 538.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=538.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=467
2) x%=538.38
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%=467/538.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 538.38 is what percent of 467

100%/x%=467/538.38
(100/x)*x=(467/538.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.86741706601285*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.86741706601285) to get x
100/0.86741706601285=x
115.28479657388=x
x=115.28479657388

now we have:
538.38 is 115.28479657388% of 467
