What is 4.705 percent of 217.256 - 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 217.256 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 217.256 is 100%, so we can write it down as 217.256=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.705% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.705%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 217.256=100%
2) x=4.705%
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:
217.256/x=100%/4.705%
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 4.705% of 217.256

217.256/x=100/4.705
(217.256/x)*x=(100/4.705)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
217.256=21.25398512221*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.25398512221) to get x
217.256/21.25398512221=x
10.2218948=x
x=10.2218948

now we have:
