48.22 is what percent of 4073 - 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 4073 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 4073, so we can write it down as 100%=4073.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4073
2) x%=48.22
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%=4073/48.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.22 is what percent of 4073

100%/x%=4073/48.22
(100/x)*x=(4073/48.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=84.467026130236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.467026130236) to get x
100/84.467026130236=x
1.183893935674=x
x=1.183893935674

now we have:
48.22 is 1.183893935674% of 4073
