0.76 is what percent of 4.27 - 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 4.27 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 4.27, so we can write it down as 100%=4.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.27
2) x%=0.76
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%=4.27/0.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.76 is what percent of 4.27

100%/x%=4.27/0.76
(100/x)*x=(4.27/0.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6184210526316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6184210526316) to get x
100/5.6184210526316=x
17.798594847775=x
x=17.798594847775

now we have:
0.76 is 17.798594847775% of 4.27
