4.9 is what percent of 69 - 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 69 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 69, so we can write it down as 100%=69.
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%=69
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%=69/4.9
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 69

100%/x%=69/4.9
(100/x)*x=(69/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.081632653061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.081632653061) to get x
100/14.081632653061=x
7.1014492753623=x
x=7.1014492753623

now we have:
4.9 is 7.1014492753623% of 69
