What is 101 percent of 477.73 - 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 477.73 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 477.73 is 100%, so we can write it down as 477.73=100%.
4. We know, that x is 101% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=101%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 477.73=100%
2) x=101%
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:
477.73/x=100%/101%
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 101% of 477.73

477.73/x=100/101
(477.73/x)*x=(100/101)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
477.73=0.99009900990099*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.99009900990099) to get x
477.73/0.99009900990099=x
482.5073=x
x=482.5073

now we have:
101% of 477.73=482.5073
