What is 2.363 percent of 47.7 - 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 47.7 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 47.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.363% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.363%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.7=100%
2) x=2.363%
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:
47.7/x=100%/2.363%
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 2.363% of 47.7

47.7/x=100/2.363
(47.7/x)*x=(100/2.363)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47.7=42.319085907744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.319085907744) to get x
47.7/42.319085907744=x
1.127151=x
x=1.127151

now we have:
2.363% of 47.7=1.127151
