4.84 is what percent of 21.45 - 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 21.45 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 21.45, so we can write it down as 100%=21.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.45
2) x%=4.84
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%=21.45/4.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.84 is what percent of 21.45

100%/x%=21.45/4.84
(100/x)*x=(21.45/4.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4318181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4318181818182) to get x
100/4.4318181818182=x
22.564102564103=x
x=22.564102564103

now we have:
4.84 is 22.564102564103% of 21.45
