4.64 is what percent of 74.235 - 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 74.235 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 74.235, so we can write it down as 100%=74.235.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=74.235
2) x%=4.64
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%=74.235/4.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.64 is what percent of 74.235

100%/x%=74.235/4.64
(100/x)*x=(74.235/4.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.998922413793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.998922413793) to get x
100/15.998922413793=x
6.2504209604634=x
x=6.2504209604634

now we have:
4.64 is 6.2504209604634% of 74.235
