3 is what percent of 4.774 - 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 4.774 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 4.774, so we can write it down as 100%=4.774.
4. We know, that x% equals 3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.774
2) x%=3
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%=4.774/3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3 is what percent of 4.774

100%/x%=4.774/3
(100/x)*x=(4.774/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5913333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5913333333333) to get x
100/1.5913333333333=x
62.840385421031=x
x=62.840385421031

now we have:
3 is 62.840385421031% of 4.774
