What is 4 percent of 2111 - 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 2111 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 2111 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2111=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2111=100%
2) x=4%
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:
2111/x=100%/4%
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 4% of 2111

2111/x=100/4
(2111/x)*x=(100/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2111=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x
2111/25=x
84.44=x
x=84.44

now we have:
4% of 2111=84.44
