What is 3.35 percent of 483 - 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 483 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 483 is 100%, so we can write it down as 483=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 483=100%
2) x=3.35%
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:
483/x=100%/3.35%
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 3.35% of 483

483/x=100/3.35
(483/x)*x=(100/3.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
483=29.850746268657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.850746268657) to get x
483/29.850746268657=x
16.1805=x
x=16.1805

now we have:
3.35% of 483=16.1805
