4799.6 is what percent of 11420 - 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 11420 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 11420, so we can write it down as 100%=11420.
4. We know, that x% equals 4799.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4799.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11420
2) x%=4799.6
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%=11420/4799.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4799.6 is what percent of 11420

100%/x%=11420/4799.6
(100/x)*x=(11420/4799.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3793649470789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3793649470789) to get x
100/2.3793649470789=x
42.028021015762=x
x=42.028021015762

now we have:
