What is 102.3 percent of 48 - 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 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 48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 102.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=102.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48=100%
2) x=102.3%
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:
48/x=100%/102.3%
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 102.3% of 48

48/x=100/102.3
(48/x)*x=(100/102.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48=0.97751710654936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97751710654936) to get x
48/0.97751710654936=x
49.104=x
x=49.104

now we have:
102.3% of 48=49.104
