What is 4.625 percent of 96 - 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 96 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 96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 96=100%
2) x=4.625%
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:
96/x=100%/4.625%
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 4.625% of 96

96/x=100/4.625
(96/x)*x=(100/4.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
96=21.621621621622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.621621621622) to get x
96/21.621621621622=x
4.44=x
x=4.44

now we have:
4.625% of 96=4.44
