What is 8.51 percent of 47000 - 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 47000 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 47000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47000=100%
2) x=8.51%
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:
47000/x=100%/8.51%
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 8.51% of 47000

47000/x=100/8.51
(47000/x)*x=(100/8.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47000=11.750881316099*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.750881316099) to get x
47000/11.750881316099=x
3999.7=x
x=3999.7

now we have:
8.51% of 47000=3999.7
