4.06 is what percent of 270.38 - 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 270.38 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 270.38, so we can write it down as 100%=270.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=270.38
2) x%=4.06
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%=270.38/4.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.06 is what percent of 270.38

100%/x%=270.38/4.06
(100/x)*x=(270.38/4.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.5960591133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.5960591133) to get x
100/66.5960591133=x
1.5015903543161=x
x=1.5015903543161

now we have:
4.06 is 1.5015903543161% of 270.38
