805.48 is what percent of 4500 - 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 4500 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 4500, so we can write it down as 100%=4500.
4. We know, that x% equals 805.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=805.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4500
2) x%=805.48
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%=4500/805.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 805.48 is what percent of 4500

100%/x%=4500/805.48
(100/x)*x=(4500/805.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5867308933803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5867308933803) to get x
100/5.5867308933803=x
17.899555555556=x
x=17.899555555556

now we have:
805.48 is 17.899555555556% of 4500
