What is 3.704 percent of 1492.2 - 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 1492.2 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 1492.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1492.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.704% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.704%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1492.2=100%
2) x=3.704%
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:
1492.2/x=100%/3.704%
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 3.704% of 1492.2

1492.2/x=100/3.704
(1492.2/x)*x=(100/3.704)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1492.2=26.997840172786*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.997840172786) to get x
1492.2/26.997840172786=x
55.271088=x
x=55.271088

now we have:
3.704% of 1492.2=55.271088
