4.95 is what percent of 10.95 - 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 10.95 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 10.95, so we can write it down as 100%=10.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.95
2) x%=4.95
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%=10.95/4.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.95 is what percent of 10.95

100%/x%=10.95/4.95
(100/x)*x=(10.95/4.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2121212121212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2121212121212) to get x
100/2.2121212121212=x
45.205479452055=x
x=45.205479452055

now we have:
4.95 is 45.205479452055% of 10.95
