What is 45.45 percent of 797.5 - 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 797.5 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 797.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 797.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 797.5=100%
2) x=45.45%
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:
797.5/x=100%/45.45%
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 45.45% of 797.5

797.5/x=100/45.45
(797.5/x)*x=(100/45.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
797.5=2.2002200220022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2002200220022) to get x
797.5/2.2002200220022=x
362.46375=x
x=362.46375

now we have:
45.45% of 797.5=362.46375
