4475 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 4475 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4475.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=4475
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%=5/4475
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4475 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/4475
(100/x)*x=(5/4475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0011173184357542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0011173184357542) to get x
100/0.0011173184357542=x
89500=x
x=89500

now we have:
4475 is 89500% of 5
