What is 4.78 percent of 7.34 - 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 7.34 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 7.34 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.34=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.34=100%
2) x=4.78%
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:
7.34/x=100%/4.78%
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 4.78% of 7.34

7.34/x=100/4.78
(7.34/x)*x=(100/4.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.34=20.92050209205*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.92050209205) to get x
7.34/20.92050209205=x
0.350852=x
x=0.350852

now we have:
4.78% of 7.34=0.350852
