What is 4.4 percent of 46980 - 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 46980 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 46980 is 100%, so we can write it down as 46980=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) 46980=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:
46980/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 46980

46980/x=100/4.4
(46980/x)*x=(100/4.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
46980=22.727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.727272727273) to get x
46980/22.727272727273=x
2067.12=x
x=2067.12

now we have:
4.4% of 46980=2067.12
