What is 4.27 percent of 135 - 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 135 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 135 is 100%, so we can write it down as 135=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 135=100%
2) x=4.27%
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:
135/x=100%/4.27%
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 4.27% of 135

135/x=100/4.27
(135/x)*x=(100/4.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
135=23.419203747073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.419203747073) to get x
135/23.419203747073=x
5.7645=x
x=5.7645

now we have:
4.27% of 135=5.7645
