What is 44.8 percent of 4.21 - 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 4.21 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 4.21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.21=100%
2) x=44.8%
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:
4.21/x=100%/44.8%
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 44.8% of 4.21

4.21/x=100/44.8
(4.21/x)*x=(100/44.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.21=2.2321428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2321428571429) to get x
4.21/2.2321428571429=x
1.88608=x
x=1.88608

now we have:
44.8% of 4.21=1.88608
