1.67 is what percent of 4.99 - 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 4.99 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 4.99, so we can write it down as 100%=4.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.99
2) x%=1.67
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%=4.99/1.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.67 is what percent of 4.99

100%/x%=4.99/1.67
(100/x)*x=(4.99/1.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9880239520958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9880239520958) to get x
100/2.9880239520958=x
33.466933867735=x
x=33.466933867735

now we have:
1.67 is 33.466933867735% of 4.99
