What is 4.87 percent of 2122.5 - 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 2122.5 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 2122.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2122.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.87% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.87%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2122.5=100%
2) x=4.87%
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:
2122.5/x=100%/4.87%
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 4.87% of 2122.5

2122.5/x=100/4.87
(2122.5/x)*x=(100/4.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2122.5=20.533880903491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.533880903491) to get x
2122.5/20.533880903491=x
103.36575=x
x=103.36575

now we have:
4.87% of 2122.5=103.36575
