48.6 is what percent of 49300 - 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 49300 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 49300, so we can write it down as 100%=49300.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49300
2) x%=48.6
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%=49300/48.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.6 is what percent of 49300

100%/x%=49300/48.6
(100/x)*x=(49300/48.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1014.4032921811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1014.4032921811) to get x
100/1014.4032921811=x
0.098580121703854=x
x=0.098580121703854

now we have:
48.6 is 0.098580121703854% of 49300
