4948.5 is what percent of 18669 - 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 18669 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 18669, so we can write it down as 100%=18669.
4. We know, that x% equals 4948.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4948.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18669
2) x%=4948.5
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%=18669/4948.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4948.5 is what percent of 18669

100%/x%=18669/4948.5
(100/x)*x=(18669/4948.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7726583813277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7726583813277) to get x
100/3.7726583813277=x
26.506508115057=x
x=26.506508115057

now we have:
