176.68 is what percent of 4417 - 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 4417 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 4417, so we can write it down as 100%=4417.
4. We know, that x% equals 176.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=176.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4417
2) x%=176.68
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%=4417/176.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 176.68 is what percent of 4417

100%/x%=4417/176.68
(100/x)*x=(4417/176.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x
100/25=x
4=x
x=4

now we have:
176.68 is 4% of 4417
