462.14 is what percent of 4088 - 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 4088 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 4088, so we can write it down as 100%=4088.
4. We know, that x% equals 462.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=462.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4088
2) x%=462.14
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%=4088/462.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 462.14 is what percent of 4088

100%/x%=4088/462.14
(100/x)*x=(4088/462.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8458043017267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8458043017267) to get x
100/8.8458043017267=x
11.304794520548=x
x=11.304794520548

now we have:
462.14 is 11.304794520548% of 4088
