What is 0.26 percent of 4900000 - 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 4900000 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 4900000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4900000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4900000=100%
2) x=0.26%
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:
4900000/x=100%/0.26%
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 0.26% of 4900000

4900000/x=100/0.26
(4900000/x)*x=(100/0.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4900000=384.61538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (384.61538461538) to get x
4900000/384.61538461538=x
12740=x
x=12740

now we have:
0.26% of 4900000=12740
