What is 35.2 percent of 450 - 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 450 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 450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 450=100%
2) x=35.2%
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:
450/x=100%/35.2%
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 35.2% of 450

450/x=100/35.2
(450/x)*x=(100/35.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
450=2.8409090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8409090909091) to get x
450/2.8409090909091=x
158.4=x
x=158.4

now we have:
35.2% of 450=158.4
