What is 4.001 percent of 37731.03 - 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 37731.03 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 37731.03 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37731.03=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.001% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.001%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37731.03=100%
2) x=4.001%
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:
37731.03/x=100%/4.001%
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 4.001% of 37731.03

37731.03/x=100/4.001
(37731.03/x)*x=(100/4.001)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37731.03=24.993751562109*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.993751562109) to get x
37731.03/24.993751562109=x
1509.6185103=x
x=1509.6185103

now we have:
4.001% of 37731.03=1509.6185103
