What is 4.25 percent of 7949 - 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 7949 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 7949 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7949=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7949=100%
2) x=4.25%
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:
7949/x=100%/4.25%
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 4.25% of 7949

7949/x=100/4.25
(7949/x)*x=(100/4.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7949=23.529411764706*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.529411764706) to get x
7949/23.529411764706=x
337.8325=x
x=337.8325

now we have:
4.25% of 7949=337.8325
