82 is what percent of 4767 - 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 4767 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 4767, so we can write it down as 100%=4767.
4. We know, that x% equals 82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4767
2) x%=82
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%=4767/82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82 is what percent of 4767

100%/x%=4767/82
(100/x)*x=(4767/82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=58.134146341463*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.134146341463) to get x
100/58.134146341463=x
1.7201594294105=x
x=1.7201594294105

now we have:
82 is 1.7201594294105% of 4767
