What is 43.2 percent of 4.735 - 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 4.735 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 4.735 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.735=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.735=100%
2) x=43.2%
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:
4.735/x=100%/43.2%
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 43.2% of 4.735

4.735/x=100/43.2
(4.735/x)*x=(100/43.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.735=2.3148148148148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3148148148148) to get x
4.735/2.3148148148148=x
2.04552=x
x=2.04552

now we have:
43.2% of 4.735=2.04552
