142.41 is what percent of 4580 - 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 4580 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 4580, so we can write it down as 100%=4580.
4. We know, that x% equals 142.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=142.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4580
2) x%=142.41
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%=4580/142.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 142.41 is what percent of 4580

100%/x%=4580/142.41
(100/x)*x=(4580/142.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.160662874798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.160662874798) to get x
100/32.160662874798=x
3.1093886462882=x
x=3.1093886462882

now we have:
142.41 is 3.1093886462882% of 4580
