What is 4.4 percent of 1250000 - 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 1250000 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 1250000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1250000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1250000=100%
2) x=4.4%
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:
1250000/x=100%/4.4%
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 4.4% of 1250000

1250000/x=100/4.4
(1250000/x)*x=(100/4.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1250000=22.727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.727272727273) to get x
1250000/22.727272727273=x
55000=x
x=55000

now we have:
4.4% of 1250000=55000
