What is 250 percent of 4950 - 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 4950 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 4950 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4950=100%.
4. We know, that x is 250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=250%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4950=100%
2) x=250%
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:
4950/x=100%/250%
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 250% of 4950

4950/x=100/250
(4950/x)*x=(100/250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4950=0.4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4) to get x
4950/0.4=x
12375=x
x=12375

now we have:
250% of 4950=12375
