What is 12.4 percent of 4231.06 - 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 4231.06 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 4231.06 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4231.06=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4231.06=100%
2) x=12.4%
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:
4231.06/x=100%/12.4%
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 12.4% of 4231.06

4231.06/x=100/12.4
(4231.06/x)*x=(100/12.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4231.06=8.0645161290323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0645161290323) to get x
4231.06/8.0645161290323=x
524.65144=x
x=524.65144

now we have:
12.4% of 4231.06=524.65144
