1.92 is what percent of 48.5 - 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 48.5 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 48.5, so we can write it down as 100%=48.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48.5
2) x%=1.92
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%=48.5/1.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.92 is what percent of 48.5

100%/x%=48.5/1.92
(100/x)*x=(48.5/1.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.260416666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.260416666667) to get x
100/25.260416666667=x
3.9587628865979=x
x=3.9587628865979

now we have:
1.92 is 3.9587628865979% of 48.5
