What is 4000 percent of 459500 - 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 459500 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 459500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 459500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 459500=100%
2) x=4000%
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:
459500/x=100%/4000%
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 4000% of 459500

459500/x=100/4000
(459500/x)*x=(100/4000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
459500=0.025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.025) to get x
459500/0.025=x
18380000=x
x=18380000

now we have:
4000% of 459500=18380000
