34 is what percent of 4510 - 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 4510 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 4510, so we can write it down as 100%=4510.
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%=4510
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%=4510/34
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 4510

100%/x%=4510/34
(100/x)*x=(4510/34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=132.64705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (132.64705882353) to get x
100/132.64705882353=x
0.75388026607539=x
x=0.75388026607539

now we have:
34 is 0.75388026607539% of 4510
