What is 4.8374 percent of 449.99 - 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 449.99 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 449.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 449.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.8374% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.8374%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 449.99=100%
2) x=4.8374%
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:
449.99/x=100%/4.8374%
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 4.8374% of 449.99
