What is 3.71 percent of 499.64 - 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 499.64 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 499.64 is 100%, so we can write it down as 499.64=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 499.64=100%
2) x=3.71%
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:
499.64/x=100%/3.71%
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 3.71% of 499.64

499.64/x=100/3.71
(499.64/x)*x=(100/3.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
499.64=26.954177897574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.954177897574) to get x
499.64/26.954177897574=x
18.536644=x
x=18.536644

now we have:
3.71% of 499.64=18.536644
