4 is what percent of 2953 - 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 2953 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 2953, so we can write it down as 100%=2953.
4. We know, that x% equals 4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2953
2) x%=4
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%=2953/4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4 is what percent of 2953

100%/x%=2953/4
(100/x)*x=(2953/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=738.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (738.25) to get x
100/738.25=x
0.13545546901456=x
x=0.13545546901456

now we have:
4 is 0.13545546901456% of 2953
