1240.75 is what percent of 4158 - 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 4158 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 4158, so we can write it down as 100%=4158.
4. We know, that x% equals 1240.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1240.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4158
2) x%=1240.75
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%=4158/1240.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1240.75 is what percent of 4158

100%/x%=4158/1240.75
(100/x)*x=(4158/1240.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3511988716502*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3511988716502) to get x
100/3.3511988716502=x
29.840067340067=x
x=29.840067340067

now we have:
1240.75 is 29.840067340067% of 4158
