What is 3.996 percent of 4.995 - 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 4.995 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 4.995 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.995=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.996% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.996%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.995=100%
2) x=3.996%
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:
4.995/x=100%/3.996%
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 3.996% of 4.995

4.995/x=100/3.996
(4.995/x)*x=(100/3.996)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.995=25.025025025025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.025025025025) to get x
4.995/25.025025025025=x
0.1996002=x
x=0.1996002

now we have:
3.996% of 4.995=0.1996002
