What is 4.1 percent of 18.25 - 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 18.25 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 18.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.25=100%
2) x=4.1%
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:
18.25/x=100%/4.1%
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 4.1% of 18.25

18.25/x=100/4.1
(18.25/x)*x=(100/4.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.25=24.390243902439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.390243902439) to get x
18.25/24.390243902439=x
0.74825=x
x=0.74825

now we have:
4.1% of 18.25=0.74825
