0.48 is what percent of 47.69 - 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 47.69 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 100% equals 47.69, so we can write it down as 100%=47.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47.69
2) x%=0.48
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:
100%/x%=47.69/0.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.48 is what percent of 47.69

100%/x%=47.69/0.48
(100/x)*x=(47.69/0.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=99.354166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (99.354166666667) to get x
100/99.354166666667=x
1.0065003145313=x
x=1.0065003145313

now we have:
0.48 is 1.0065003145313% of 47.69
