4658.5 is what percent of 8458 - 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 8458 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 8458, so we can write it down as 100%=8458.
4. We know, that x% equals 4658.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4658.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8458
2) x%=4658.5
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%=8458/4658.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4658.5 is what percent of 8458

100%/x%=8458/4658.5
(100/x)*x=(8458/4658.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8156058817216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8156058817216) to get x
100/1.8156058817216=x
55.078032631828=x
x=55.078032631828

now we have:
