4 is what percent of 1343 - 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 1343 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 1343, so we can write it down as 100%=1343.
4. We know, that x% equals 4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1343
2) x%=4
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%=1343/4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4 is what percent of 1343

100%/x%=1343/4
(100/x)*x=(1343/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=335.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (335.75) to get x
100/335.75=x
0.29784065524944=x
x=0.29784065524944

now we have:
4 is 0.29784065524944% of 1343
