4.74 is what percent of 452 - 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 452 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 452, so we can write it down as 100%=452.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=452
2) x%=4.74
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%=452/4.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.74 is what percent of 452

100%/x%=452/4.74
(100/x)*x=(452/4.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=95.35864978903*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (95.35864978903) to get x
100/95.35864978903=x
1.0486725663717=x
x=1.0486725663717

now we have:
4.74 is 1.0486725663717% of 452
