4.98 is what percent of 145.62 - 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 145.62 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 145.62, so we can write it down as 100%=145.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=145.62
2) x%=4.98
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%=145.62/4.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.98 is what percent of 145.62

100%/x%=145.62/4.98
(100/x)*x=(145.62/4.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.240963855422*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.240963855422) to get x
100/29.240963855422=x
3.4198599093531=x
x=3.4198599093531

now we have:
