4.94 is what percent of 207.29 - 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 207.29 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 207.29, so we can write it down as 100%=207.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=207.29
2) x%=4.94
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%=207.29/4.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.94 is what percent of 207.29

100%/x%=207.29/4.94
(100/x)*x=(207.29/4.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41.961538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.961538461538) to get x
100/41.961538461538=x
2.3831347387718=x
x=2.3831347387718

now we have:
4.94 is 2.3831347387718% of 207.29
