96 is what percent of 4629 - 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 4629 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 4629, so we can write it down as 100%=4629.
4. We know, that x% equals 96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4629
2) x%=96
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%=4629/96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96 is what percent of 4629

100%/x%=4629/96
(100/x)*x=(4629/96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=48.21875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.21875) to get x
100/48.21875=x
2.0738820479585=x
x=2.0738820479585

now we have:
96 is 2.0738820479585% of 4629
