4.8 is what percent of 353.6 - 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 353.6 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 353.6, so we can write it down as 100%=353.6.
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%=353.6
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%=353.6/4.8
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 353.6

100%/x%=353.6/4.8
(100/x)*x=(353.6/4.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=73.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (73.666666666667) to get x
100/73.666666666667=x
1.3574660633484=x
x=1.3574660633484

now we have:
4.8 is 1.3574660633484% of 353.6
