What is 7.25 percent of 4259 - 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 4259 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 4259 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4259=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4259=100%
2) x=7.25%
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:
4259/x=100%/7.25%
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 7.25% of 4259

4259/x=100/7.25
(4259/x)*x=(100/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4259=13.793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.793103448276) to get x
4259/13.793103448276=x
308.7775=x
x=308.7775

now we have:
7.25% of 4259=308.7775
