What is 4.19 percent of 477.71 - 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 477.71 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 477.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 477.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 477.71=100%
2) x=4.19%
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:
477.71/x=100%/4.19%
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 4.19% of 477.71

477.71/x=100/4.19
(477.71/x)*x=(100/4.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
477.71=23.866348448687*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.866348448687) to get x
477.71/23.866348448687=x
20.016049=x
x=20.016049

now we have:
4.19% of 477.71=20.016049
