4.95 is what percent of 16.26 - 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 16.26 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 16.26, so we can write it down as 100%=16.26.
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%=16.26
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%=16.26/4.95
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 16.26

100%/x%=16.26/4.95
(100/x)*x=(16.26/4.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2848484848485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2848484848485) to get x
100/3.2848484848485=x
30.442804428044=x
x=30.442804428044

now we have:
4.95 is 30.442804428044% of 16.26
