What is 8.79 percent of 4489 - 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 4489 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 4489 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4489=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4489=100%
2) x=8.79%
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:
4489/x=100%/8.79%
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 8.79% of 4489

4489/x=100/8.79
(4489/x)*x=(100/8.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4489=11.3765642776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.3765642776) to get x
4489/11.3765642776=x
394.5831=x
x=394.5831

now we have:
8.79% of 4489=394.5831
