What is 3.98 percent of 2122 - 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 2122 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 2122 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2122=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) 2122=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:
2122/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 2122

2122/x=100/3.98
(2122/x)*x=(100/3.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2122=25.125628140704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.125628140704) to get x
2122/25.125628140704=x
84.4556=x
x=84.4556

now we have:
3.98% of 2122=84.4556
