4% of how many days equals 56 days

Let's start off by turning it into an equation:

4% x M = 56.

First off, we want to find out what the M is, so we to change the percent into a fraction.

4% = 4/100 so that would be 4/100 x M = 56

Now we need to multiply 100 on both sides. Which makes it:

4 x M = 5600,

So now, we need to isolate the variable, meaning we need to divide both sides by 4:

M = 1,400

So that would be the answer.
