What is 2.5 percent of 4424 - 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 4424 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 4424 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4424=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4424=100%
2) x=2.5%
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:
4424/x=100%/2.5%
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 2.5% of 4424

4424/x=100/2.5
(4424/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4424=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x
4424/40=x
110.6=x
x=110.6

now we have:
2.5% of 4424=110.6
