The word "is" can be represented by the equal (=) symbol.
The word "what" can be represented by any letter you like.
I will let "what" = x.
The word "of" means multiplication in math language.
We now make an equation and solve for x.
4.7 = x(18.3)
Let x = the percent you are looking for
To find x, divide both sides by 18.3.
4.7/18.3 = x
0.256830601 = x
We now move the decimal point two places to the right and include the percent symbol (%) in your answer for x.
25% = x
