What is 42.18 percent of 4608 - 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 4608 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 4608 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4608=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4608=100%
2) x=42.18%
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:
4608/x=100%/42.18%
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 42.18% of 4608

4608/x=100/42.18
(4608/x)*x=(100/42.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4608=2.3707918444761*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3707918444761) to get x
4608/2.3707918444761=x
1943.6544=x
x=1943.6544

now we have:
42.18% of 4608=1943.6544
