4.16666666667 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.16666666667 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.16666666667.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=4.16666666667
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%=5/4.16666666667
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.16666666667 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/4.16666666667
(100/x)*x=(5/4.16666666667)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.199999999999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.199999999999) to get x
100/1.199999999999=x
83.3333333334=x
x=83.3333333334

now we have:
4.16666666667 is 83.3333333334% of 5
