What is 4.77 percent of 147000 - 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 147000 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 147000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 147000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 147000=100%
2) x=4.77%
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:
147000/x=100%/4.77%
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 4.77% of 147000

147000/x=100/4.77
(147000/x)*x=(100/4.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
147000=20.964360587002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.964360587002) to get x
147000/20.964360587002=x
7011.9=x
x=7011.9

now we have:
4.77% of 147000=7011.9
