10.56 is what percent of 48000 - 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 48000 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 48000, so we can write it down as 100%=48000.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48000
2) x%=10.56
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%=48000/10.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.56 is what percent of 48000

100%/x%=48000/10.56
(100/x)*x=(48000/10.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4545.4545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4545.4545454545) to get x
100/4545.4545454545=x
0.022=x
x=0.022

now we have:
10.56 is 0.022% of 48000
