4 is what percent of 65.16 - 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 65.16 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 65.16, so we can write it down as 100%=65.16.
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%=65.16
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%=65.16/4
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 65.16

100%/x%=65.16/4
(100/x)*x=(65.16/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.29*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.29) to get x
100/16.29=x
6.1387354205034=x
x=6.1387354205034

now we have:
4 is 6.1387354205034% of 65.16
