What is 5.45 percent of 4741 - 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 4741 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 4741 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4741=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4741=100%
2) x=5.45%
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:
4741/x=100%/5.45%
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 5.45% of 4741

4741/x=100/5.45
(4741/x)*x=(100/5.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4741=18.348623853211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.348623853211) to get x
4741/18.348623853211=x
258.3845=x
x=258.3845

now we have:
5.45% of 4741=258.3845
