What is 4.173 percent of 23.5 - 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 23.5 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 23.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.173% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.173%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.5=100%
2) x=4.173%
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:
23.5/x=100%/4.173%
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 4.173% of 23.5

23.5/x=100/4.173
(23.5/x)*x=(100/4.173)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.5=23.963575365445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.963575365445) to get x
23.5/23.963575365445=x
0.980655=x
x=0.980655

now we have:
4.173% of 23.5=0.980655
