What is 4.18 percent of 75.92 - 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 75.92 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 75.92 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75.92=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75.92=100%
2) x=4.18%
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:
75.92/x=100%/4.18%
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 4.18% of 75.92

75.92/x=100/4.18
(75.92/x)*x=(100/4.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75.92=23.923444976077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.923444976077) to get x
75.92/23.923444976077=x
3.173456=x
x=3.173456

now we have:
4.18% of 75.92=3.173456
