4.39 is what percent of 75.7 - 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 75.7 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 75.7, so we can write it down as 100%=75.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75.7
2) x%=4.39
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%=75.7/4.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.39 is what percent of 75.7

100%/x%=75.7/4.39
(100/x)*x=(75.7/4.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.243735763098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.243735763098) to get x
100/17.243735763098=x
5.7992073976222=x
x=5.7992073976222

now we have:
4.39 is 5.7992073976222% of 75.7
