What is 4.69 percent of 120000 - 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 120000 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 120000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120000=100%
2) x=4.69%
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:
120000/x=100%/4.69%
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 4.69% of 120000

120000/x=100/4.69
(120000/x)*x=(100/4.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120000=21.321961620469*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.321961620469) to get x
120000/21.321961620469=x
5628=x
x=5628

now we have:
4.69% of 120000=5628
