4.93 is what percent of 14.8 - 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 14.8 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 14.8, so we can write it down as 100%=14.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.8
2) x%=4.93
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%=14.8/4.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.93 is what percent of 14.8

100%/x%=14.8/4.93
(100/x)*x=(14.8/4.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0020283975659*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0020283975659) to get x
100/3.0020283975659=x
33.310810810811=x
x=33.310810810811

now we have:
4.93 is 33.310810810811% of 14.8
