2948.35 is what percent of 4000 - 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 4000 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 4000, so we can write it down as 100%=4000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2948.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2948.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4000
2) x%=2948.35
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%=4000/2948.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2948.35 is what percent of 4000

100%/x%=4000/2948.35
(100/x)*x=(4000/2948.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3566910305764*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3566910305764) to get x
100/1.3566910305764=x
73.70875=x
x=73.70875

now we have:
2948.35 is 73.70875% of 4000
