What is 19.3 percent of 248 - 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 248 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 248 is 100%, so we can write it down as 248=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 248=100%
2) x=19.3%
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:
248/x=100%/19.3%
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 19.3% of 248

248/x=100/19.3
(248/x)*x=(100/19.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
248=5.1813471502591*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1813471502591) to get x
248/5.1813471502591=x
47.864=x
x=47.864

now we have:
19.3% of 248=47.864
