4.9 is what percent of 0.9 - 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 0.9 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 0.9, so we can write it down as 100%=0.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.9
2) x%=4.9
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%=0.9/4.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.9 is what percent of 0.9

100%/x%=0.9/4.9
(100/x)*x=(0.9/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.18367346938776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.18367346938776) to get x
100/0.18367346938776=x
544.44444444444=x
x=544.44444444444

now we have:
4.9 is 544.44444444444% of 0.9
