What is 10.4 percent of 4570 - 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 4570 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 4570 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4570=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4570=100%
2) x=10.4%
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:
4570/x=100%/10.4%
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 10.4% of 4570

4570/x=100/10.4
(4570/x)*x=(100/10.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4570=9.6153846153846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6153846153846) to get x
4570/9.6153846153846=x
475.28=x
x=475.28

now we have:
10.4% of 4570=475.28
