4784.64 is what percent of 40800 - 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 40800 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 40800, so we can write it down as 100%=40800.
4. We know, that x% equals 4784.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4784.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40800
2) x%=4784.64
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%=40800/4784.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4784.64 is what percent of 40800

100%/x%=40800/4784.64
(100/x)*x=(40800/4784.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.5272873194222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5272873194222) to get x
100/8.5272873194222=x
11.727058823529=x
x=11.727058823529

now we have:
