What is 4.26 percent of 4125 - 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 4125 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 4125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4125=100%
2) x=4.26%
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:
4125/x=100%/4.26%
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 4.26% of 4125

4125/x=100/4.26
(4125/x)*x=(100/4.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4125=23.474178403756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.474178403756) to get x
4125/23.474178403756=x
175.725=x
x=175.725

now we have:
4.26% of 4125=175.725
