4801 is what percent of 12750 - 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 12750 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 12750, so we can write it down as 100%=12750.
4. We know, that x% equals 4801 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4801.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12750
2) x%=4801
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%=12750/4801
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4801 is what percent of 12750

100%/x%=12750/4801
(100/x)*x=(12750/4801)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6556967298479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6556967298479) to get x
100/2.6556967298479=x
37.654901960784=x
x=37.654901960784

now we have:
4801 is 37.654901960784% of 12750
