4.76 is what percent of 7.56 - 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 7.56 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 7.56, so we can write it down as 100%=7.56.
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%=7.56
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%=7.56/4.76
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 7.56

100%/x%=7.56/4.76
(100/x)*x=(7.56/4.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5882352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5882352941176) to get x
100/1.5882352941176=x
62.962962962963=x
x=62.962962962963

now we have:
4.76 is 62.962962962963% of 7.56
