913.5 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 913.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=913.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4300
2) x%=913.5
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%=4300/913.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 913.5 is what percent of 4300

100%/x%=4300/913.5
(100/x)*x=(4300/913.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7071702244116*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7071702244116) to get x
100/4.7071702244116=x
21.244186046512=x
x=21.244186046512

now we have:
913.5 is 21.244186046512% of 4300
