What is 4.8 percent of 2175 - 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 2175 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 2175 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2175=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2175=100%
2) x=4.8%
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:
2175/x=100%/4.8%
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 4.8% of 2175

2175/x=100/4.8
(2175/x)*x=(100/4.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2175=20.833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.833333333333) to get x
2175/20.833333333333=x
104.4=x
x=104.4

now we have:
4.8% of 2175=104.4
