What is 31 percent of 4977 - 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 4977 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 4977 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4977=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4977=100%
2) x=31%
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:
4977/x=100%/31%
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 31% of 4977

4977/x=100/31
(4977/x)*x=(100/31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4977=3.2258064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2258064516129) to get x
4977/3.2258064516129=x
1542.87=x
x=1542.87

now we have:
31% of 4977=1542.87
