9.45 is what percent of 48.23 - 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 48.23 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 48.23, so we can write it down as 100%=48.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48.23
2) x%=9.45
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%=48.23/9.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.45 is what percent of 48.23

100%/x%=48.23/9.45
(100/x)*x=(48.23/9.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1037037037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1037037037037) to get x
100/5.1037037037037=x
19.593613933237=x
x=19.593613933237

now we have:
9.45 is 19.593613933237% of 48.23
