What is 1.09 percent of 4700 - 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 4700 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 4700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4700=100%
2) x=1.09%
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:
4700/x=100%/1.09%
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 1.09% of 4700

4700/x=100/1.09
(4700/x)*x=(100/1.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4700=91.743119266055*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (91.743119266055) to get x
4700/91.743119266055=x
51.23=x
x=51.23

now we have:
1.09% of 4700=51.23
