48.27 is what percent of 77.5 - 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 77.5 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 77.5, so we can write it down as 100%=77.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=77.5
2) x%=48.27
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%=77.5/48.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.27 is what percent of 77.5

100%/x%=77.5/48.27
(100/x)*x=(77.5/48.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6055521027553*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6055521027553) to get x
100/1.6055521027553=x
62.283870967742=x
x=62.283870967742

now we have:
48.27 is 62.283870967742% of 77.5
