4.62 is what percent of 8.02 - 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 8.02 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 8.02, so we can write it down as 100%=8.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.02
2) x%=4.62
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%=8.02/4.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.62 is what percent of 8.02

100%/x%=8.02/4.62
(100/x)*x=(8.02/4.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7359307359307*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7359307359307) to get x
100/1.7359307359307=x
57.605985037406=x
x=57.605985037406

now we have:
4.62 is 57.605985037406% of 8.02
