4.76 is what percent of 67.21 - 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 67.21 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 67.21, so we can write it down as 100%=67.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.21
2) x%=4.76
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%=67.21/4.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.76 is what percent of 67.21

100%/x%=67.21/4.76
(100/x)*x=(67.21/4.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.11974789916*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.11974789916) to get x
100/14.11974789916=x
7.082279422705=x
x=7.082279422705

now we have:
4.76 is 7.082279422705% of 67.21
