What is 88 percent of 4823 - 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 4823 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 4823 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4823=100%.
4. We know, that x is 88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4823=100%
2) x=88%
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:
4823/x=100%/88%
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 88% of 4823

4823/x=100/88
(4823/x)*x=(100/88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4823=1.1363636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1363636363636) to get x
4823/1.1363636363636=x
4244.24=x
x=4244.24

now we have:
88% of 4823=4244.24
