Question

483.6 is what percent of 180

Answer 1

Answer:

We assume, that the number 180 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 100% equals 180, so we can write it down as 100%=180.

4. We know, that x% equals 483.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=483.6.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=180

2) x%=483.6

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:

100%/x%=180/483.6

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 483.6 is what percent of 180

100%/x%=180/483.6

(100/x)*x=(180/483.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=0.37220843672457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.37220843672457) to get x

100/0.37220843672457=x

268.66666666667=x

x=268.66666666667

now we have:

483.6 is 268.66666666667% of 180
