4.27 is what percent of 136.79 - 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 136.79 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 136.79, so we can write it down as 100%=136.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136.79
2) x%=4.27
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%=136.79/4.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.27 is what percent of 136.79

100%/x%=136.79/4.27
(100/x)*x=(136.79/4.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.035128805621*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.035128805621) to get x
100/32.035128805621=x
3.1215732144163=x
x=3.1215732144163

now we have:
4.27 is 3.1215732144163% of 136.79
