4.66 is what percent of 24.99 - 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 24.99 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 24.99, so we can write it down as 100%=24.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.99
2) x%=4.66
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%=24.99/4.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.66 is what percent of 24.99

100%/x%=24.99/4.66
(100/x)*x=(24.99/4.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.362660944206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.362660944206) to get x
100/5.362660944206=x
18.647458983593=x
x=18.647458983593

now we have:
4.66 is 18.647458983593% of 24.99
