4.67 is what percent of 158 - 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 158 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 158, so we can write it down as 100%=158.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=158
2) x%=4.67
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%=158/4.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.67 is what percent of 158

100%/x%=158/4.67
(100/x)*x=(158/4.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.832976445396*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.832976445396) to get x
100/33.832976445396=x
2.9556962025316=x
x=2.9556962025316

now we have:
4.67 is 2.9556962025316% of 158
