What is 4700 percent of 5400 - 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 5400 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 5400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5400=100%
2) x=4700%
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:
5400/x=100%/4700%
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 4700% of 5400

5400/x=100/4700
(5400/x)*x=(100/4700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5400=0.021276595744681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.021276595744681) to get x
5400/0.021276595744681=x
253800=x
x=253800

now we have:
4700% of 5400=253800
