What is 18.45 percent of 4642 - 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 4642 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 4642 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4642=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4642=100%
2) x=18.45%
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:
4642/x=100%/18.45%
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 18.45% of 4642

4642/x=100/18.45
(4642/x)*x=(100/18.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4642=5.420054200542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.420054200542) to get x
4642/5.420054200542=x
856.449=x
x=856.449

now we have:
18.45% of 4642=856.449
