979.34 is what percent of 4472 - 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 4472 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 4472, so we can write it down as 100%=4472.
4. We know, that x% equals 979.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=979.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4472
2) x%=979.34
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%=4472/979.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 979.34 is what percent of 4472

100%/x%=4472/979.34
(100/x)*x=(4472/979.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5663405967284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5663405967284) to get x
100/4.5663405967284=x
21.899373881932=x
x=21.899373881932

now we have:
