What is 4.22 percent of 75 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=4.22%
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/x=100%/4.22%
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 4.22% of 75

75/x=100/4.22
(75/x)*x=(100/4.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=23.696682464455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.696682464455) to get x
75/23.696682464455=x
3.165=x
x=3.165

now we have:
4.22% of 75=3.165
