4.33 is what percent of 28.88 - 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 28.88 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 28.88, so we can write it down as 100%=28.88.
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%=28.88
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%=28.88/4.33
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 28.88

100%/x%=28.88/4.33
(100/x)*x=(28.88/4.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6697459584296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6697459584296) to get x
100/6.6697459584296=x
14.993074792244=x
x=14.993074792244

now we have:
4.33 is 14.993074792244% of 28.88
