What is 4.75 percent of 4995 - 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 4995 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 4995 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4995=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) 4995=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:
4995/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 4995

4995/x=100/4.75
(4995/x)*x=(100/4.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4995=21.052631578947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.052631578947) to get x
4995/21.052631578947=x
237.2625=x
x=237.2625

now we have:
4.75% of 4995=237.2625
