What is 23.4 percent of 4850 - 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 4850 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 4850 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4850=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4850=100%
2) x=23.4%
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:
4850/x=100%/23.4%
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 23.4% of 4850

4850/x=100/23.4
(4850/x)*x=(100/23.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4850=4.2735042735043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2735042735043) to get x
4850/4.2735042735043=x
1134.9=x
x=1134.9

now we have:
23.4% of 4850=1134.9
