4167 is what percent of 8333 - 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 8333 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 8333, so we can write it down as 100%=8333.
4. We know, that x% equals 4167 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4167.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8333
2) x%=4167
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%=8333/4167
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4167 is what percent of 8333

100%/x%=8333/4167
(100/x)*x=(8333/4167)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9997600191985*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9997600191985) to get x
100/1.9997600191985=x
50.00600024001=x
x=50.00600024001

now we have:
4167 is 50.00600024001% of 8333
