3042.31 is what percent of 4260 - 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 4260 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 4260, so we can write it down as 100%=4260.
4. We know, that x% equals 3042.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3042.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4260
2) x%=3042.31
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%=4260/3042.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3042.31 is what percent of 4260

100%/x%=4260/3042.31
(100/x)*x=(4260/3042.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4002517823627*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4002517823627) to get x
100/1.4002517823627=x
71.415727699531=x
x=71.415727699531

now we have:
3042.31 is 71.415727699531% of 4260
