4.18 is what percent of 10.95 - 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 10.95 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 10.95, so we can write it down as 100%=10.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.95
2) x%=4.18
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%=10.95/4.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.18 is what percent of 10.95

100%/x%=10.95/4.18
(100/x)*x=(10.95/4.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6196172248804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6196172248804) to get x
100/2.6196172248804=x
38.173515981735=x
x=38.173515981735

now we have:
4.18 is 38.173515981735% of 10.95
