What is 18.25 percent of 4.5 - 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 4.5 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 4.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.5=100%
2) x=18.25%
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:
4.5/x=100%/18.25%
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 18.25% of 4.5

4.5/x=100/18.25
(4.5/x)*x=(100/18.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.5=5.4794520547945*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4794520547945) to get x
4.5/5.4794520547945=x
0.82125=x
x=0.82125

now we have:
18.25% of 4.5=0.82125
