What is 83.3333333 percent of 4.7 - 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 4.7 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 4.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 83.3333333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=83.3333333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.7=100%
2) x=83.3333333%
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:
4.7/x=100%/83.3333333%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 83.3333333% of 4.7

4.7/x=100/83.3333333
(4.7/x)*x=(100/83.3333333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.7=1.20000000048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.20000000048) to get x
4.7/1.20000000048=x
3.9166666651=x
x=3.9166666651

now we have:
83.3333333% of 4.7=3.9166666651
