4299.5 is what percent of 5997 - 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 5997 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 5997, so we can write it down as 100%=5997.
4. We know, that x% equals 4299.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4299.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5997
2) x%=4299.5
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%=5997/4299.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4299.5 is what percent of 5997

100%/x%=5997/4299.5
(100/x)*x=(5997/4299.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3948133503896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3948133503896) to get x
100/1.3948133503896=x
71.694180423545=x
x=71.694180423545

now we have:
4299.5 is 71.694180423545% of 5997
