4.8 is what percent of 6.15 - 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 6.15 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 6.15, so we can write it down as 100%=6.15.
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%=6.15
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%=6.15/4.8
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 6.15

100%/x%=6.15/4.8
(100/x)*x=(6.15/4.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.28125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.28125) to get x
100/1.28125=x
78.048780487805=x
x=78.048780487805

now we have:
4.8 is 78.048780487805% of 6.15
