What is 38.64 percent of 4 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4=100%
2) x=38.64%
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/x=100%/38.64%
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 38.64% of 4

4/x=100/38.64
(4/x)*x=(100/38.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4=2.5879917184265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5879917184265) to get x
4/2.5879917184265=x
1.5456=x
x=1.5456

now we have:
38.64% of 4=1.5456
