4.5 is what percent of 5016 - 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 5016 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 5016, so we can write it down as 100%=5016.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5016
2) x%=4.5
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%=5016/4.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.5 is what percent of 5016

100%/x%=5016/4.5
(100/x)*x=(5016/4.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1114.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1114.6666666667) to get x
100/1114.6666666667=x
0.089712918660287=x
x=0.089712918660287

now we have:
4.5 is 0.089712918660287% of 5016
