What is 4.225 percent of 48000 - 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 48000 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 48000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48000=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) 48000=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:
48000/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 48000

48000/x=100/4.225
(48000/x)*x=(100/4.225)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48000=23.668639053254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.668639053254) to get x
48000/23.668639053254=x
2028=x
x=2028

now we have:
4.225% of 48000=2028
