What is 1.4 percent of 4525 - 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 4525 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 4525 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4525=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4525=100%
2) x=1.4%
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:
4525/x=100%/1.4%
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 1.4% of 4525

4525/x=100/1.4
(4525/x)*x=(100/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4525=71.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.428571428571) to get x
4525/71.428571428571=x
63.35=x
x=63.35

now we have:
1.4% of 4525=63.35
