What is 462 percent of 5280 - 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 5280 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 5280 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5280=100%.
4. We know, that x is 462% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=462%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5280=100%
2) x=462%
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:
5280/x=100%/462%
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 462% of 5280

5280/x=100/462
(5280/x)*x=(100/462)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5280=0.21645021645022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.21645021645022) to get x
5280/0.21645021645022=x
24393.6=x
x=24393.6

now we have:
462% of 5280=24393.6
