What is 4.93 percent of 3489 - 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 3489 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 3489 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3489=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.93% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.93%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3489=100%
2) x=4.93%
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:
3489/x=100%/4.93%
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 4.93% of 3489

3489/x=100/4.93
(3489/x)*x=(100/4.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3489=20.283975659229*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.283975659229) to get x
3489/20.283975659229=x
172.0077=x
x=172.0077

now we have:
4.93% of 3489=172.0077
