2399.99 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 2399.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2399.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4300
2) x%=2399.99
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%=4300/2399.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2399.99 is what percent of 4300

100%/x%=4300/2399.99
(100/x)*x=(4300/2399.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7916741319756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7916741319756) to get x
100/1.7916741319756=x
55.813720930233=x
x=55.813720930233

now we have:
2399.99 is 55.813720930233% of 4300
