61.97 is what percent of 4.771 - 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 4.771 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 4.771, so we can write it down as 100%=4.771.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.771
2) x%=61.97
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%=4.771/61.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.97 is what percent of 4.771

100%/x%=4.771/61.97
(100/x)*x=(4.771/61.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.076988865580119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.076988865580119) to get x
100/0.076988865580119=x
1298.8891217774=x
x=1298.8891217774

now we have:
61.97 is 1298.8891217774% of 4.771
