What is 1.16 percent of 4580 - 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 4580 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 4580 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4580=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4580=100%
2) x=1.16%
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:
4580/x=100%/1.16%
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 1.16% of 4580

4580/x=100/1.16
(4580/x)*x=(100/1.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4580=86.206896551724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (86.206896551724) to get x
4580/86.206896551724=x
53.128=x
x=53.128

now we have:
1.16% of 4580=53.128
