What is 15.24 percent of 0.48 - 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 0.48 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 0.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.48=100%
2) x=15.24%
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:
0.48/x=100%/15.24%
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 15.24% of 0.48

0.48/x=100/15.24
(0.48/x)*x=(100/15.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.48=6.5616797900262*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5616797900262) to get x
0.48/6.5616797900262=x
0.073152=x
x=0.073152

now we have:
15.24% of 0.48=0.073152
