965 is what percent of 4473 - 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 4473 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 4473, so we can write it down as 100%=4473.
4. We know, that x% equals 965 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=965.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4473
2) x%=965
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%=4473/965
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 965 is what percent of 4473

100%/x%=4473/965
(100/x)*x=(4473/965)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6352331606218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6352331606218) to get x
100/4.6352331606218=x
21.573887771071=x
x=21.573887771071

now we have:
965 is 21.573887771071% of 4473
