What is 4.24 percent of 10000000 - 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 10000000 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 10000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10000000=100%
2) x=4.24%
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:
10000000/x=100%/4.24%
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 4.24% of 10000000

10000000/x=100/4.24
(10000000/x)*x=(100/4.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10000000=23.584905660377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.584905660377) to get x
10000000/23.584905660377=x
424000=x
x=424000

now we have:
4.24% of 10000000=424000
