4.74 is what percent of 8.154 - 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 8.154 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 8.154, so we can write it down as 100%=8.154.
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%=8.154
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%=8.154/4.74
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 8.154

100%/x%=8.154/4.74
(100/x)*x=(8.154/4.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.720253164557*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.720253164557) to get x
100/1.720253164557=x
58.13097866078=x
x=58.13097866078

now we have:
4.74 is 58.13097866078% of 8.154
