4.99 is what percent of 2465 - 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 2465 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 2465, so we can write it down as 100%=2465.
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%=2465
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%=2465/4.99
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 2465

100%/x%=2465/4.99
(100/x)*x=(2465/4.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=493.9879759519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (493.9879759519) to get x
100/493.9879759519=x
0.20243407707911=x
x=0.20243407707911

now we have:
4.99 is 0.20243407707911% of 2465
