What is 4.8 percent of 4630 - 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 4630 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 4630 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4630=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) 4630=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:
4630/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 4630

4630/x=100/4.8
(4630/x)*x=(100/4.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4630=20.833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.833333333333) to get x
4630/20.833333333333=x
222.24=x
x=222.24

now we have:
4.8% of 4630=222.24
