What is 4.08 percent of 71012 - 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 71012 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 71012 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71012=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71012=100%
2) x=4.08%
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:
71012/x=100%/4.08%
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 4.08% of 71012

71012/x=100/4.08
(71012/x)*x=(100/4.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71012=24.509803921569*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.509803921569) to get x
71012/24.509803921569=x
2897.2896=x
x=2897.2896

now we have:
4.08% of 71012=2897.2896
