34 is what percent of 4251 - 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 4251 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 4251, so we can write it down as 100%=4251.
4. We know, that x% equals 34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4251
2) x%=34
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%=4251/34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34 is what percent of 4251

100%/x%=4251/34
(100/x)*x=(4251/34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=125.02941176471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125.02941176471) to get x
100/125.02941176471=x
0.79981180898612=x
x=0.79981180898612

now we have:
34 is 0.79981180898612% of 4251
