What is 4.97 percent of 75000 - 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 75000 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 75000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75000=100%
2) x=4.97%
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:
75000/x=100%/4.97%
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 4.97% of 75000

75000/x=100/4.97
(75000/x)*x=(100/4.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75000=20.120724346076*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.120724346076) to get x
75000/20.120724346076=x
3727.5=x
x=3727.5

now we have:
4.97% of 75000=3727.5
