What is 35.99 percent of 449.88 - 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 449.88 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 449.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 449.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 449.88=100%
2) x=35.99%
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:
449.88/x=100%/35.99%
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 35.99% of 449.88

449.88/x=100/35.99
(449.88/x)*x=(100/35.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
449.88=2.7785495971103*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7785495971103) to get x
449.88/2.7785495971103=x
161.911812=x
x=161.911812

now we have:
35.99% of 449.88=161.911812
