897.85 is what percent of 4300 - 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 4300 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 4300, so we can write it down as 100%=4300.
4. We know, that x% equals 897.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=897.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4300
2) x%=897.85
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%=4300/897.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 897.85 is what percent of 4300

100%/x%=4300/897.85
(100/x)*x=(4300/897.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7892186890906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7892186890906) to get x
100/4.7892186890906=x
20.88023255814=x
x=20.88023255814

now we have:
897.85 is 20.88023255814% of 4300
