What is 0.7 percent of 455.49 - 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 455.49 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 455.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 455.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 455.49=100%
2) x=0.7%
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:
455.49/x=100%/0.7%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.7% of 455.49

455.49/x=100/0.7
(455.49/x)*x=(100/0.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
455.49=142.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (142.85714285714) to get x
455.49/142.85714285714=x
3.18843=x
x=3.18843

now we have:
0.7% of 455.49=3.18843
