4524.8 is what percent of 11844 - 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 11844 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 11844, so we can write it down as 100%=11844.
4. We know, that x% equals 4524.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4524.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11844
2) x%=4524.8
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%=11844/4524.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4524.8 is what percent of 11844

100%/x%=11844/4524.8
(100/x)*x=(11844/4524.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6175742574257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6175742574257) to get x
100/2.6175742574257=x
38.203309692671=x
x=38.203309692671

now we have:
