49.53 is what percent of 47.93 - 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 47.93 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 47.93, so we can write it down as 100%=47.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 49.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47.93
2) x%=49.53
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%=47.93/49.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49.53 is what percent of 47.93

100%/x%=47.93/49.53
(100/x)*x=(47.93/49.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9676963456491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9676963456491) to get x
100/0.9676963456491=x
103.33820154392=x
x=103.33820154392

now we have:
49.53 is 103.33820154392% of 47.93
