4838.4 is what percent of 16500 - 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 16500 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 16500, so we can write it down as 100%=16500.
4. We know, that x% equals 4838.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4838.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16500
2) x%=4838.4
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%=16500/4838.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4838.4 is what percent of 16500

100%/x%=16500/4838.4
(100/x)*x=(16500/4838.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4102182539683*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4102182539683) to get x
100/3.4102182539683=x
29.323636363636=x
x=29.323636363636

now we have:
4838.4 is 29.323636363636% of 16500
