What is 4.05 percent of 7185 - 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 7185 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 7185 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7185=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7185=100%
2) x=4.05%
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:
7185/x=100%/4.05%
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 4.05% of 7185

7185/x=100/4.05
(7185/x)*x=(100/4.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7185=24.691358024691*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.691358024691) to get x
7185/24.691358024691=x
290.9925=x
x=290.9925

now we have:
4.05% of 7185=290.9925
