2.14 is what percent of 4.98 - 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 4.98 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 4.98, so we can write it down as 100%=4.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.98
2) x%=2.14
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%=4.98/2.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.14 is what percent of 4.98

100%/x%=4.98/2.14
(100/x)*x=(4.98/2.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3271028037383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3271028037383) to get x
100/2.3271028037383=x
42.971887550201=x
x=42.971887550201

now we have:
2.14 is 42.971887550201% of 4.98
