4.25 is what percent of 110000 - 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 110000 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 110000, so we can write it down as 100%=110000.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=110000
2) x%=4.25
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%=110000/4.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.25 is what percent of 110000

100%/x%=110000/4.25
(100/x)*x=(110000/4.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25882.352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25882.352941176) to get x
100/25882.352941176=x
0.0038636363636364=x
x=0.0038636363636364

now we have:
4.25 is 0.0038636363636364% of 110000
