What is 3.6 percent of 4925 - 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 4925 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 4925 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4925=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4925=100%
2) x=3.6%
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:
4925/x=100%/3.6%
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 3.6% of 4925

4925/x=100/3.6
(4925/x)*x=(100/3.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4925=27.777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.777777777778) to get x
4925/27.777777777778=x
177.3=x
x=177.3

now we have:
3.6% of 4925=177.3
