48.08 is what percent of 366 - 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 366 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 366, so we can write it down as 100%=366.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=366
2) x%=48.08
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%=366/48.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.08 is what percent of 366

100%/x%=366/48.08
(100/x)*x=(366/48.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.61231281198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.61231281198) to get x
100/7.61231281198=x
13.136612021858=x
x=13.136612021858

now we have:
48.08 is 13.136612021858% of 366
