What is 7.97 percent of 4.974 - 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 4.974 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 4.974 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.974=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.974=100%
2) x=7.97%
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:
4.974/x=100%/7.97%
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 7.97% of 4.974

4.974/x=100/7.97
(4.974/x)*x=(100/7.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.974=12.547051442911*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.547051442911) to get x
4.974/12.547051442911=x
0.3964278=x
x=0.3964278

now we have:
7.97% of 4.974=0.3964278
