845.72 is what percent of 1480 - 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 1480 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 1480, so we can write it down as 100%=1480.
4. We know, that x% equals 845.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=845.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1480
2) x%=845.72
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%=1480/845.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 845.72 is what percent of 1480

100%/x%=1480/845.72
(100/x)*x=(1480/845.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7499881757556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7499881757556) to get x
100/1.7499881757556=x
57.143243243243=x
x=57.143243243243

now we have:
845.72 is 57.143243243243% of 1480
