What is 2.902 percent of 4.338 - 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 4.338 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 4.338 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.338=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.902% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.902%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.338=100%
2) x=2.902%
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:
4.338/x=100%/2.902%
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 2.902% of 4.338

4.338/x=100/2.902
(4.338/x)*x=(100/2.902)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.338=34.458993797381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.458993797381) to get x
4.338/34.458993797381=x
0.12588876=x
x=0.12588876

now we have:
2.902% of 4.338=0.12588876
