4.99 is what percent of 170.06 - 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 170.06 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 170.06, so we can write it down as 100%=170.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=170.06
2) x%=4.99
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%=170.06/4.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.99 is what percent of 170.06

100%/x%=170.06/4.99
(100/x)*x=(170.06/4.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.080160320641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.080160320641) to get x
100/34.080160320641=x
2.9342584970011=x
x=2.9342584970011

now we have:
4.99 is 2.9342584970011% of 170.06
