8.65 is what percent of 4.62 - 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 4.62 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 4.62, so we can write it down as 100%=4.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.62
2) x%=8.65
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%=4.62/8.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.65 is what percent of 4.62

100%/x%=4.62/8.65
(100/x)*x=(4.62/8.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.53410404624277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.53410404624277) to get x
100/0.53410404624277=x
187.22943722944=x
x=187.22943722944

now we have:
8.65 is 187.22943722944% of 4.62
