48 is what percent of 128131 - 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 128131 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 128131, so we can write it down as 100%=128131.
4. We know, that x% equals 48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=128131
2) x%=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%=128131/48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48 is what percent of 128131

100%/x%=128131/48
(100/x)*x=(128131/48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2669.3958333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2669.3958333333) to get x
100/2669.3958333333=x
0.037461660332004=x
x=0.037461660332004

now we have:
