48.4 is what percent of 27369 - 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 27369 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 27369, so we can write it down as 100%=27369.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27369
2) x%=48.4
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%=27369/48.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.4 is what percent of 27369

100%/x%=27369/48.4
(100/x)*x=(27369/48.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=565.47520661157*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (565.47520661157) to get x
100/565.47520661157=x
0.17684241294896=x
x=0.17684241294896

now we have:
