48.64 is what percent of 81.93 - 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 81.93 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 81.93, so we can write it down as 100%=81.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=81.93
2) x%=48.64
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%=81.93/48.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.64 is what percent of 81.93

100%/x%=81.93/48.64
(100/x)*x=(81.93/48.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6844161184211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6844161184211) to get x
100/1.6844161184211=x
59.367752959844=x
x=59.367752959844

now we have:
48.64 is 59.367752959844% of 81.93
