What is 18.085 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 18.085% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.085%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48=100%
2) x=18.085%
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%/18.085%
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 18.085% of 48

48/x=100/18.085
(48/x)*x=(100/18.085)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48=5.5294442908488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5294442908488) to get x
48/5.5294442908488=x
8.6808=x
x=8.6808

now we have:
18.085% of 48=8.6808
