4.35 is what percent of 4.278 - 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 4.278 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 4.278, so we can write it down as 100%=4.278.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.278
2) x%=4.35
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%=4.278/4.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.35 is what percent of 4.278

100%/x%=4.278/4.35
(100/x)*x=(4.278/4.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98344827586207*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98344827586207) to get x
100/0.98344827586207=x
101.68302945302=x
x=101.68302945302

now we have:
4.35 is 101.68302945302% of 4.278
