4.24 is what percent of 5.6975 - 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 5.6975 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 5.6975, so we can write it down as 100%=5.6975.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.6975
2) x%=4.24
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%=5.6975/4.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.24 is what percent of 5.6975

100%/x%=5.6975/4.24
(100/x)*x=(5.6975/4.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.34375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.34375) to get x
100/1.34375=x
74.418604651163=x
x=74.418604651163

now we have:
4.24 is 74.418604651163% of 5.6975
