4 is what percent of 739 - 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 739 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 739, so we can write it down as 100%=739.
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%=739
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%=739/4
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 739

100%/x%=739/4
(100/x)*x=(739/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=184.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (184.75) to get x
100/184.75=x
0.54127198917456=x
x=0.54127198917456

now we have:
4 is 0.54127198917456% of 739
