4.81 is what percent of 300.39 - 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 300.39 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 300.39, so we can write it down as 100%=300.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300.39
2) x%=4.81
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%=300.39/4.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.81 is what percent of 300.39

100%/x%=300.39/4.81
(100/x)*x=(300.39/4.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.451143451143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.451143451143) to get x
100/62.451143451143=x
1.6012517061154=x
x=1.6012517061154

now we have:
4.81 is 1.6012517061154% of 300.39
