231.33 is what percent of 4808.02 - 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 4808.02 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 4808.02, so we can write it down as 100%=4808.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 231.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=231.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4808.02
2) x%=231.33
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%=4808.02/231.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 231.33 is what percent of 4808.02

100%/x%=4808.02/231.33
(100/x)*x=(4808.02/231.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.784247611637*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.784247611637) to get x
100/20.784247611637=x
4.8113360593342=x
x=4.8113360593342

now we have:
231.33 is 4.8113360593342% of 4808.02
