What is 3.85 percent of 410 - 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 410 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 410 is 100%, so we can write it down as 410=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 410=100%
2) x=3.85%
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:
410/x=100%/3.85%
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 3.85% of 410

410/x=100/3.85
(410/x)*x=(100/3.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
410=25.974025974*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.974025974) to get x
410/25.974025974=x
15.785=x
x=15.785

now we have:
3.85% of 410=15.785
