What is 9.875 percent of 43176 - 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 43176 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 43176 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43176=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43176=100%
2) x=9.875%
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:
43176/x=100%/9.875%
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 9.875% of 43176

43176/x=100/9.875
(43176/x)*x=(100/9.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43176=10.126582278481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.126582278481) to get x
43176/10.126582278481=x
4263.63=x
x=4263.63

now we have:
9.875% of 43176=4263.63
