Multiply both sides by $x$ to get $x$ on its own. (What you do to one side do to the other).

$(100timesx)/4=(1timescancelx)/cancelx$

$(100x)/4=1$

Multiply both sides by $4$ to get $4$ on its own.

$(cancel4times100x)/cancel4=1times4$

$100x=4$

Divide both sides by $100$ to get $x$ on its own.

$(cancel100x)/cancel100=4/100$

$x=4/100$
