4.25 is what percent of 127.49 - 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 127.49 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 127.49, so we can write it down as 100%=127.49.
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%=127.49
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%=127.49/4.25
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 127.49

100%/x%=127.49/4.25
(100/x)*x=(127.49/4.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.997647058824*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.997647058824) to get x
100/29.997647058824=x
3.3335947917484=x
x=3.3335947917484

now we have:
4.25 is 3.3335947917484% of 127.49
