4.99 is what percent of 7.88 - 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 7.88 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 7.88, so we can write it down as 100%=7.88.
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%=7.88
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%=7.88/4.99
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 7.88

100%/x%=7.88/4.99
(100/x)*x=(7.88/4.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5791583166333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5791583166333) to get x
100/1.5791583166333=x
63.324873096447=x
x=63.324873096447

now we have:
4.99 is 63.324873096447% of 7.88
