4.75 is what percent of 64 - 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 64 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 64, so we can write it down as 100%=64.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=64
2) x%=4.75
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%=64/4.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.75 is what percent of 64

100%/x%=64/4.75
(100/x)*x=(64/4.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.4736842105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.4736842105) to get x
100/13.4736842105=x
7.421875=x
x=7.421875

now we have:
4.75 is 7.421875% of 64
