1138.72 is what percent of 4850 - 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 4850 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 4850, so we can write it down as 100%=4850.
4. We know, that x% equals 1138.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1138.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4850
2) x%=1138.72
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%=4850/1138.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1138.72 is what percent of 4850

100%/x%=4850/1138.72
(100/x)*x=(4850/1138.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2591681888436*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2591681888436) to get x
100/4.2591681888436=x
23.478762886598=x
x=23.478762886598

now we have:
1138.72 is 23.478762886598% of 4850
