332.5 is what percent of 4890 - 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 4890 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 4890, so we can write it down as 100%=4890.
4. We know, that x% equals 332.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=332.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4890
2) x%=332.5
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%=4890/332.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 332.5 is what percent of 4890

100%/x%=4890/332.5
(100/x)*x=(4890/332.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.706766917293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.706766917293) to get x
100/14.706766917293=x
6.799591002045=x
x=6.799591002045

now we have:
332.5 is 6.799591002045% of 4890
