What is 19.5 percent of 4700 - 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 4700 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 4700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4700=100%
2) x=19.5%
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:
4700/x=100%/19.5%
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 19.5% of 4700

4700/x=100/19.5
(4700/x)*x=(100/19.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4700=5.1282051282051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1282051282051) to get x
4700/5.1282051282051=x
916.5=x
x=916.5

now we have:
19.5% of 4700=916.5
