What is 6.26 percent of 49860 - 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 49860 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 49860 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49860=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49860=100%
2) x=6.26%
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:
49860/x=100%/6.26%
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 6.26% of 49860

49860/x=100/6.26
(49860/x)*x=(100/6.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49860=15.974440894569*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.974440894569) to get x
49860/15.974440894569=x
3121.236=x
x=3121.236

now we have:
6.26% of 49860=3121.236
