What is 1.162 percent of 43.713 - 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 43.713 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 43.713 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43.713=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.162% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.162%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43.713=100%
2) x=1.162%
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:
43.713/x=100%/1.162%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.162% of 43.713

43.713/x=100/1.162
(43.713/x)*x=(100/1.162)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43.713=86.05851979346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (86.05851979346) to get x
43.713/86.05851979346=x
0.50794506=x
x=0.50794506

now we have:
