What is 7.6 percent of 3851 - 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 3851 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 3851 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3851=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3851=100%
2) x=7.6%
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:
3851/x=100%/7.6%
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 7.6% of 3851

3851/x=100/7.6
(3851/x)*x=(100/7.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3851=13.157894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.157894736842) to get x
3851/13.157894736842=x
292.676=x
x=292.676

now we have:
7.6% of 3851=292.676
