4.68 is what percent of 24.99 - 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 24.99 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 24.99, so we can write it down as 100%=24.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.99
2) x%=4.68
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%=24.99/4.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.68 is what percent of 24.99

100%/x%=24.99/4.68
(100/x)*x=(24.99/4.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3397435897436*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3397435897436) to get x
100/5.3397435897436=x
18.727490996399=x
x=18.727490996399

now we have:
4.68 is 18.727490996399% of 24.99
