What is 29.25 percent of 4.25 - 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 4.25 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 4.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.25=100%
2) x=29.25%
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:
4.25/x=100%/29.25%
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 29.25% of 4.25

4.25/x=100/29.25
(4.25/x)*x=(100/29.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.25=3.4188034188034*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4188034188034) to get x
4.25/3.4188034188034=x
1.243125=x
x=1.243125

now we have:
29.25% of 4.25=1.243125
