What is 4.75 percent of 468.24 - 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 468.24 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 468.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 468.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 468.24=100%
2) x=4.75%
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:
468.24/x=100%/4.75%
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 4.75% of 468.24

468.24/x=100/4.75
(468.24/x)*x=(100/4.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
468.24=21.052631578947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.052631578947) to get x
468.24/21.052631578947=x
22.2414=x
x=22.2414

now we have:
4.75% of 468.24=22.2414
