0.8) 498 what is the answer​

Step 1: We make the assumption that 498 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=498$100%=498​.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=4$x%=4​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=498(1)$100%=498(1)​.

$x\%=4(2)$x%=4(2)​.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{498}{4}$

100%

x%​=

498

4​​

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{4}{498}$

x%

100%​=

4

498​​

$\Rightarrow x=0.8\%$⇒x=0.8%​

Therefore, $4$4​ is $0.8\%$0.8%​ of $498$498​.
