What is 4.375 percent of 415000 - 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 415000 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 415000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 415000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 415000=100%
2) x=4.375%
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:
415000/x=100%/4.375%
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 4.375% of 415000

415000/x=100/4.375
(415000/x)*x=(100/4.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
415000=22.857142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.857142857143) to get x
415000/22.857142857143=x
18156.25=x
x=18156.25

now we have:
4.375% of 415000=18156.25
