4.23 is what percent of 34.95 - 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 34.95 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 34.95, so we can write it down as 100%=34.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.95
2) x%=4.23
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%=34.95/4.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.23 is what percent of 34.95

100%/x%=34.95/4.23
(100/x)*x=(34.95/4.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2624113475177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2624113475177) to get x
100/8.2624113475177=x
12.103004291845=x
x=12.103004291845

now we have:
4.23 is 12.103004291845% of 34.95
