What is 4.85 percent of 442.61 - 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 442.61 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 442.61 is 100%, so we can write it down as 442.61=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 442.61=100%
2) x=4.85%
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:
442.61/x=100%/4.85%
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 4.85% of 442.61

442.61/x=100/4.85
(442.61/x)*x=(100/4.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
442.61=20.618556701031*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.618556701031) to get x
442.61/20.618556701031=x
21.466585=x
x=21.466585

now we have:
4.85% of 442.61=21.466585
