884.06 is what percent of 1473.44 - 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 1473.44 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 1473.44, so we can write it down as 100%=1473.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 884.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=884.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1473.44
2) x%=884.06
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%=1473.44/884.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 884.06 is what percent of 1473.44

100%/x%=1473.44/884.06
(100/x)*x=(1473.44/884.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.666674207633*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.666674207633) to get x
100/1.666674207633=x
59.999728526442=x
x=59.999728526442

now we have:
