What is 65.4 percent of 489.8 - 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 489.8 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 489.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 489.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 65.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=65.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 489.8=100%
2) x=65.4%
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:
489.8/x=100%/65.4%
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 65.4% of 489.8

489.8/x=100/65.4
(489.8/x)*x=(100/65.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
489.8=1.5290519877676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5290519877676) to get x
489.8/1.5290519877676=x
320.3292=x
x=320.3292

now we have:
65.4% of 489.8=320.3292
