What is 2.21 percent of 4.77 - 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 4.77 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 4.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.77=100%
2) x=2.21%
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:
4.77/x=100%/2.21%
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 2.21% of 4.77

4.77/x=100/2.21
(4.77/x)*x=(100/2.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.77=45.248868778281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (45.248868778281) to get x
4.77/45.248868778281=x
0.105417=x
x=0.105417

now we have:
2.21% of 4.77=0.105417
