What is 4 percent of 4315 - 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 4315 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 4315 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4315=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) 4315=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:
4315/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 4315

4315/x=100/4
(4315/x)*x=(100/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4315=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x
4315/25=x
172.6=x
x=172.6

now we have:
4% of 4315=172.6
