What is 3.98 percent of 1050 - 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 1050 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 1050 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1050=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1050=100%
2) x=3.98%
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:
1050/x=100%/3.98%
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 3.98% of 1050

1050/x=100/3.98
(1050/x)*x=(100/3.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1050=25.125628140704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.125628140704) to get x
1050/25.125628140704=x
41.79=x
x=41.79

now we have:
3.98% of 1050=41.79
