What is 5.078 percent of 49725 - 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 49725 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 49725 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49725=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.078% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.078%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49725=100%
2) x=5.078%
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:
49725/x=100%/5.078%
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 5.078% of 49725

49725/x=100/5.078
(49725/x)*x=(100/5.078)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49725=19.692792437968*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.692792437968) to get x
49725/19.692792437968=x
2525.0355=x
x=2525.0355

now we have:
