What is 6.55 percent of 4.75 - 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 4.75 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 4.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.75=100%
2) x=6.55%
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:
4.75/x=100%/6.55%
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 6.55% of 4.75

4.75/x=100/6.55
(4.75/x)*x=(100/6.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.75=15.267175572519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.267175572519) to get x
4.75/15.267175572519=x
0.311125=x
x=0.311125

now we have:
6.55% of 4.75=0.311125
