What is 4.256 percent of 7.89 - 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 7.89 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 7.89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.256% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.256%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.89=100%
2) x=4.256%
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:
7.89/x=100%/4.256%
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 4.256% of 7.89

7.89/x=100/4.256
(7.89/x)*x=(100/4.256)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.89=23.496240601504*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.496240601504) to get x
7.89/23.496240601504=x
0.3357984=x
x=0.3357984

now we have:
4.256% of 7.89=0.3357984
