What is 4847 percent of 18 - 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 18 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 18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4847% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4847%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18=100%
2) x=4847%
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:
18/x=100%/4847%
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 4847% of 18

18/x=100/4847
(18/x)*x=(100/4847)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18=0.020631318341242*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.020631318341242) to get x
18/0.020631318341242=x
872.46=x
x=872.46

now we have:
4847% of 18=872.46
