What is 7.94 percent of 50.4 - 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 50.4 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 50.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50.4=100%
2) x=7.94%
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:
50.4/x=100%/7.94%
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 7.94% of 50.4

50.4/x=100/7.94
(50.4/x)*x=(100/7.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50.4=12.594458438287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.594458438287) to get x
50.4/12.594458438287=x
4.00176=x
x=4.00176

now we have:
7.94% of 50.4=4.00176
