What is 900 percent of 475 - 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 475 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 475 is 100%, so we can write it down as 475=100%.
4. We know, that x is 900% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=900%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 475=100%
2) x=900%
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:
475/x=100%/900%
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 900% of 475

475/x=100/900
(475/x)*x=(100/900)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
475=0.11111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11111111111111) to get x
475/0.11111111111111=x
4275=x
x=4275

now we have:
900% of 475=4275
