1 is what percent of 4951 - 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 4951 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 4951, so we can write it down as 100%=4951.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4951
2) x%=1
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%=4951/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 4951

100%/x%=4951/1
(100/x)*x=(4951/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4951) to get x
100/4951=x
0.020197939810139=x
x=0.020197939810139

now we have:
1 is 0.020197939810139% of 4951
