4.8 is what percent of 15144 - 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 15144 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 15144, so we can write it down as 100%=15144.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15144
2) x%=4.8
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%=15144/4.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.8 is what percent of 15144

100%/x%=15144/4.8
(100/x)*x=(15144/4.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3155*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3155) to get x
100/3155=x
0.031695721077655=x
x=0.031695721077655

now we have:
4.8 is 0.031695721077655% of 15144
