483.92 is what percent of 4000 - 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 4000 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 4000, so we can write it down as 100%=4000.
4. We know, that x% equals 483.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=483.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4000
2) x%=483.92
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%=4000/483.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 483.92 is what percent of 4000

100%/x%=4000/483.92
(100/x)*x=(4000/483.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.265829062655*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.265829062655) to get x
100/8.265829062655=x
12.098=x
x=12.098

now we have:
483.92 is 12.098% of 4000
