What is 4.33 percent of 254 - 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 254 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 254 is 100%, so we can write it down as 254=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 254=100%
2) x=4.33%
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:
254/x=100%/4.33%
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 4.33% of 254

254/x=100/4.33
(254/x)*x=(100/4.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
254=23.094688221709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.094688221709) to get x
254/23.094688221709=x
10.9982=x
x=10.9982

now we have:
4.33% of 254=10.9982
