4.68 is what percent of 76.62 - 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 76.62 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 76.62, so we can write it down as 100%=76.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76.62
2) x%=4.68
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%=76.62/4.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.68 is what percent of 76.62

100%/x%=76.62/4.68
(100/x)*x=(76.62/4.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.371794871795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.371794871795) to get x
100/16.371794871795=x
6.1080657791699=x
x=6.1080657791699

now we have:
4.68 is 6.1080657791699% of 76.62
