4127.15 is what percent of 42600 - 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 42600 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 42600, so we can write it down as 100%=42600.
4. We know, that x% equals 4127.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4127.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42600
2) x%=4127.15
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%=42600/4127.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4127.15 is what percent of 42600

100%/x%=42600/4127.15
(100/x)*x=(42600/4127.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.321892831615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.321892831615) to get x
100/10.321892831615=x
9.6881455399061=x
x=9.6881455399061

now we have:
