What is 3.876 percent of 520 - 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 520 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 520 is 100%, so we can write it down as 520=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.876% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.876%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 520=100%
2) x=3.876%
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:
520/x=100%/3.876%
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 3.876% of 520

520/x=100/3.876
(520/x)*x=(100/3.876)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
520=25.799793601651*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.799793601651) to get x
520/25.799793601651=x
20.1552=x
x=20.1552

now we have:
3.876% of 520=20.1552
