49 is what percent of 1093 - 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 1093 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 1093, so we can write it down as 100%=1093.
4. We know, that x% equals 49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1093
2) x%=49
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%=1093/49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49 is what percent of 1093

100%/x%=1093/49
(100/x)*x=(1093/49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.30612244898*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.30612244898) to get x
100/22.30612244898=x
4.4830741079597=x
x=4.4830741079597

now we have:
49 is 4.4830741079597% of 1093
