What is 2.38 percent of 45786 - 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 45786 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 45786 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45786=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45786=100%
2) x=2.38%
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:
45786/x=100%/2.38%
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 2.38% of 45786

45786/x=100/2.38
(45786/x)*x=(100/2.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45786=42.016806722689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.016806722689) to get x
45786/42.016806722689=x
1089.7068=x
x=1089.7068

now we have:
2.38% of 45786=1089.7068
