What is 1996 percent of 48250 - 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 48250 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 48250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1996% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1996%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48250=100%
2) x=1996%
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:
48250/x=100%/1996%
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 1996% of 48250

48250/x=100/1996
(48250/x)*x=(100/1996)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48250=0.050100200400802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.050100200400802) to get x
48250/0.050100200400802=x
963070=x
x=963070

now we have:
1996% of 48250=963070
