4.33 is what percent of 10.725 - 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 10.725 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 10.725, so we can write it down as 100%=10.725.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.725
2) x%=4.33
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%=10.725/4.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.33 is what percent of 10.725

100%/x%=10.725/4.33
(100/x)*x=(10.725/4.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4769053117783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4769053117783) to get x
100/2.4769053117783=x
40.37296037296=x
x=40.37296037296

now we have:
4.33 is 40.37296037296% of 10.725
