What is 4.225 percent of 2900 - 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 2900 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 2900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.225% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.225%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2900=100%
2) x=4.225%
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:
2900/x=100%/4.225%
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 4.225% of 2900

2900/x=100/4.225
(2900/x)*x=(100/4.225)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2900=23.668639053254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.668639053254) to get x
2900/23.668639053254=x
122.525=x
x=122.525

now we have:
4.225% of 2900=122.525
