What is 4.22 percent of 310 - 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 310 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 310 is 100%, so we can write it down as 310=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 310=100%
2) x=4.22%
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:
310/x=100%/4.22%
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 4.22% of 310

310/x=100/4.22
(310/x)*x=(100/4.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
310=23.696682464455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.696682464455) to get x
310/23.696682464455=x
13.082=x
x=13.082

now we have:
4.22% of 310=13.082
