What is 4.89 percent of 31736 - 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 31736 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 31736 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31736=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31736=100%
2) x=4.89%
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:
31736/x=100%/4.89%
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 4.89% of 31736

31736/x=100/4.89
(31736/x)*x=(100/4.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31736=20.449897750511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.449897750511) to get x
31736/20.449897750511=x
1551.8904=x
x=1551.8904

now we have:
4.89% of 31736=1551.8904
