4 is what percent of 846635 - 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 846635 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 846635, so we can write it down as 100%=846635.
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%=846635
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%=846635/4
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 846635

100%/x%=846635/4
(100/x)*x=(846635/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=211658.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (211658.75) to get x
100/211658.75=x
0.00047245861557814=x
x=0.00047245861557814

now we have:
