What is 4.46 percent of 3850 - 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 3850 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 3850 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3850=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3850=100%
2) x=4.46%
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:
3850/x=100%/4.46%
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 4.46% of 3850

3850/x=100/4.46
(3850/x)*x=(100/4.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3850=22.421524663677*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.421524663677) to get x
3850/22.421524663677=x
171.71=x
x=171.71

now we have:
4.46% of 3850=171.71
