4.29 is what percent of 6.67 - 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 6.67 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 6.67, so we can write it down as 100%=6.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.67
2) x%=4.29
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%=6.67/4.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.29 is what percent of 6.67

100%/x%=6.67/4.29
(100/x)*x=(6.67/4.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5547785547786*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5547785547786) to get x
100/1.5547785547786=x
64.31784107946=x
x=64.31784107946

now we have:
4.29 is 64.31784107946% of 6.67
