What is 4.37 percent of 115000 - 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 115000 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 115000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 115000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 115000=100%
2) x=4.37%
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:
115000/x=100%/4.37%
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 4.37% of 115000

115000/x=100/4.37
(115000/x)*x=(100/4.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
115000=22.883295194508*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.883295194508) to get x
115000/22.883295194508=x
5025.5=x
x=5025.5

now we have:
4.37% of 115000=5025.5
