4.9 is what percent of 91.75 - 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 91.75 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 91.75, so we can write it down as 100%=91.75.
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%=91.75
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%=91.75/4.9
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 91.75

100%/x%=91.75/4.9
(100/x)*x=(91.75/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.724489795918*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.724489795918) to get x
100/18.724489795918=x
5.3405994550409=x
x=5.3405994550409

now we have:
4.9 is 5.3405994550409% of 91.75
