Your answer is 500% Here's why: 2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 100% equals 45, so we can write it down as 100%=45.
We know, that x% equals 225 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=225.
Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45
2) x%=225
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%=45/225
Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
Solution for 225 is what percent of 45
100%/x%=45/225
(100/x)*x=(45/225)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.2*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.2) to get x
100/0.2=x
500=x
x=500
now we have:
225 is 500% of 45 That's your answer. Hope I helped!
