4.89 is what percent of 318.84 - 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 318.84 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 318.84, so we can write it down as 100%=318.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=318.84
2) x%=4.89
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%=318.84/4.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.89 is what percent of 318.84

100%/x%=318.84/4.89
(100/x)*x=(318.84/4.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=65.20245398773*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (65.20245398773) to get x
100/65.20245398773=x
1.5336846066993=x
x=1.5336846066993

now we have:
4.89 is 1.5336846066993% of 318.84
