What is 4.75 percent of 6200 - 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 6200 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 6200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6200=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) 6200=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:
6200/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 6200

6200/x=100/4.75
(6200/x)*x=(100/4.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6200=21.052631578947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.052631578947) to get x
6200/21.052631578947=x
294.5=x
x=294.5

now we have:
4.75% of 6200=294.5
