4.5 is what percent of 4.66 - 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 4.66 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 4.66, so we can write it down as 100%=4.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.66
2) x%=4.5
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%=4.66/4.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.5 is what percent of 4.66

100%/x%=4.66/4.5
(100/x)*x=(4.66/4.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0355555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0355555555556) to get x
100/1.0355555555556=x
96.56652360515=x
x=96.56652360515

now we have:
4.5 is 96.56652360515% of 4.66
