What is 4800 percent of 42900 - 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 42900 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 42900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4800% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4800%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42900=100%
2) x=4800%
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:
42900/x=100%/4800%
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 4800% of 42900

42900/x=100/4800
(42900/x)*x=(100/4800)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42900=0.020833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.020833333333333) to get x
42900/0.020833333333333=x
2059200=x
x=2059200

now we have:
4800% of 42900=2059200
