What is 4.58 percent of 480.1 - 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 480.1 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 480.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 480.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 480.1=100%
2) x=4.58%
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:
480.1/x=100%/4.58%
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 4.58% of 480.1

480.1/x=100/4.58
(480.1/x)*x=(100/4.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
480.1=21.834061135371*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.834061135371) to get x
480.1/21.834061135371=x
21.98858=x
x=21.98858

now we have:
4.58% of 480.1=21.98858
