4.48 is what percent of 15.52 - 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 15.52 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 15.52, so we can write it down as 100%=15.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.52
2) x%=4.48
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%=15.52/4.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.48 is what percent of 15.52

100%/x%=15.52/4.48
(100/x)*x=(15.52/4.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4642857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4642857142857) to get x
100/3.4642857142857=x
28.865979381443=x
x=28.865979381443

now we have:
4.48 is 28.865979381443% of 15.52
