4 is what percent of 3.65 - 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 3.65 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 3.65, so we can write it down as 100%=3.65.
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%=3.65
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%=3.65/4
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 3.65

100%/x%=3.65/4
(100/x)*x=(3.65/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9125) to get x
100/0.9125=x
109.58904109589=x
x=109.58904109589

now we have:
4 is 109.58904109589% of 3.65
