0.95 is what percent of 4.92 - 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 4.92 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 4.92, so we can write it down as 100%=4.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.92
2) x%=0.95
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%=4.92/0.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.95 is what percent of 4.92

100%/x%=4.92/0.95
(100/x)*x=(4.92/0.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1789473684211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1789473684211) to get x
100/5.1789473684211=x
19.308943089431=x
x=19.308943089431

now we have:
0.95 is 19.308943089431% of 4.92
