54.74 is what percent of 448 - 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 448 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 448, so we can write it down as 100%=448.
4. We know, that x% equals 54.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=448
2) x%=54.74
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%=448/54.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54.74 is what percent of 448

100%/x%=448/54.74
(100/x)*x=(448/54.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1841432225064*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1841432225064) to get x
100/8.1841432225064=x
12.21875=x
x=12.21875

now we have:
54.74 is 12.21875% of 448
