469843 is what percent of 4 - 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 4 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 4, so we can write it down as 100%=4.
4. We know, that x% equals 469843 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=469843.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4
2) x%=469843
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%=4/469843
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 469843 is what percent of 4

100%/x%=4/469843
(100/x)*x=(4/469843)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.5134821631907E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5134821631907E-6) to get x
100/8.5134821631907E-6=x
11746075=x
x=11746075

now we have:
469843 is 11746075% of 4
