4.69 is what percent of 8.77 - 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 8.77 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 8.77, so we can write it down as 100%=8.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.77
2) x%=4.69
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%=8.77/4.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.69 is what percent of 8.77

100%/x%=8.77/4.69
(100/x)*x=(8.77/4.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8699360341151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8699360341151) to get x
100/1.8699360341151=x
53.477765108324=x
x=53.477765108324

now we have:
4.69 is 53.477765108324% of 8.77
