What is 103.2 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 103.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=103.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48=100%
2) x=103.2%
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%/103.2%
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 103.2% of 48

48/x=100/103.2
(48/x)*x=(100/103.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48=0.96899224806202*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96899224806202) to get x
48/0.96899224806202=x
49.536=x
x=49.536

now we have:
103.2% of 48=49.536
