What is 0.03924 percent of 480 - 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 480 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 480 is 100%, so we can write it down as 480=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.03924% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.03924%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 480=100%
2) x=0.03924%
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:
480/x=100%/0.03924%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.03924% of 480

480/x=100/0.03924
(480/x)*x=(100/0.03924)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
480=2548.4199796126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2548.4199796126) to get x
480/2548.4199796126=x
0.188352=x
x=0.188352

now we have:
0.03924% of 480=0.188352
