What is 4.172 percent of 145 - 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 145 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 145 is 100%, so we can write it down as 145=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.172% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.172%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 145=100%
2) x=4.172%
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:
145/x=100%/4.172%
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 4.172% of 145

145/x=100/4.172
(145/x)*x=(100/4.172)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
145=23.969319271333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.969319271333) to get x
145/23.969319271333=x
6.0494=x
x=6.0494

now we have:
4.172% of 145=6.0494
