4.9 is what percent of 0.003061 - 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 0.003061 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 0.003061, so we can write it down as 100%=0.003061.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.003061
2) x%=4.9
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%=0.003061/4.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.9 is what percent of 0.003061

100%/x%=0.003061/4.9
(100/x)*x=(0.003061/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00062469387755102*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00062469387755102) to get x
100/0.00062469387755102=x
160078.40574976=x
x=160078.40574976

now we have:
4.9 is 160078.40574976% of 0.003061
