49 is what percent of 935 - 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 935 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 935, so we can write it down as 100%=935.
4. We know, that x% equals 49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=935
2) x%=49
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%=935/49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49 is what percent of 935

100%/x%=935/49
(100/x)*x=(935/49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.081632653061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.081632653061) to get x
100/19.081632653061=x
5.2406417112299=x
x=5.2406417112299

now we have:
49 is 5.2406417112299% of 935
