1489.97 is what percent of 4300 - 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 4300 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 4300, so we can write it down as 100%=4300.
4. We know, that x% equals 1489.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1489.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4300
2) x%=1489.97
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%=4300/1489.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1489.97 is what percent of 4300

100%/x%=4300/1489.97
(100/x)*x=(4300/1489.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8859641469291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8859641469291) to get x
100/2.8859641469291=x
34.650465116279=x
x=34.650465116279

now we have:
1489.97 is 34.650465116279% of 4300
