What is 4.9 percent of 75750 - 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 75750 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 75750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75750=100%
2) x=4.9%
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:
75750/x=100%/4.9%
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 4.9% of 75750

75750/x=100/4.9
(75750/x)*x=(100/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75750=20.408163265306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.408163265306) to get x
75750/20.408163265306=x
3711.75=x
x=3711.75

now we have:
4.9% of 75750=3711.75
