What is 30 percent of 4166.66 - 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 4166.66 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 4166.66 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4166.66=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4166.66=100%
2) x=30%
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:
4166.66/x=100%/30%
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 30% of 4166.66

4166.66/x=100/30
(4166.66/x)*x=(100/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4166.66=3.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3333333333333) to get x
4166.66/3.3333333333333=x
1249.998=x
x=1249.998

now we have:
30% of 4166.66=1249.998
