66.25 is what percent of 485.1 - 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 485.1 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 485.1, so we can write it down as 100%=485.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 66.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=485.1
2) x%=66.25
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%=485.1/66.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66.25 is what percent of 485.1

100%/x%=485.1/66.25
(100/x)*x=(485.1/66.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.3222641509434*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3222641509434) to get x
100/7.3222641509434=x
13.656977942692=x
x=13.656977942692

now we have:
66.25 is 13.656977942692% of 485.1
