1.88 is what percent of 4.83 - 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 4.83 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 4.83, so we can write it down as 100%=4.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.83
2) x%=1.88
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%=4.83/1.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.88 is what percent of 4.83

100%/x%=4.83/1.88
(100/x)*x=(4.83/1.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5691489361702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5691489361702) to get x
100/2.5691489361702=x
38.923395445135=x
x=38.923395445135

now we have:
1.88 is 38.923395445135% of 4.83
