What is 4.79 percent of 109 - 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 109 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 109 is 100%, so we can write it down as 109=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 109=100%
2) x=4.79%
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:
109/x=100%/4.79%
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 4.79% of 109

109/x=100/4.79
(109/x)*x=(100/4.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
109=20.876826722338*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.876826722338) to get x
109/20.876826722338=x
5.2211=x
x=5.2211

now we have:
4.79% of 109=5.2211
