4.51 is what percent of 368 - 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 368 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 368, so we can write it down as 100%=368.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=368
2) x%=4.51
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%=368/4.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.51 is what percent of 368

100%/x%=368/4.51
(100/x)*x=(368/4.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=81.59645232816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (81.59645232816) to get x
100/81.59645232816=x
1.2255434782609=x
x=1.2255434782609

now we have:
4.51 is 1.2255434782609% of 368
