What is 4.6 percent of 620000 - 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 620000 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 620000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 620000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 620000=100%
2) x=4.6%
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:
620000/x=100%/4.6%
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 4.6% of 620000

620000/x=100/4.6
(620000/x)*x=(100/4.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
620000=21.739130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.739130434783) to get x
620000/21.739130434783=x
28520=x
x=28520

now we have:
4.6% of 620000=28520
