What is 4.9 percent of 94.29 - 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 94.29 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 94.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 94.29=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) 94.29=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:
94.29/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 94.29

94.29/x=100/4.9
(94.29/x)*x=(100/4.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
94.29=20.408163265306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.408163265306) to get x
94.29/20.408163265306=x
4.62021=x
x=4.62021

now we have:
4.9% of 94.29=4.62021
