What is 20.47 percent of 23.98 - 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 23.98 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 23.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.98=100%
2) x=20.47%
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:
23.98/x=100%/20.47%
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 20.47% of 23.98

23.98/x=100/20.47
(23.98/x)*x=(100/20.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.98=4.8851978505129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8851978505129) to get x
23.98/4.8851978505129=x
4.908706=x
x=4.908706

now we have:
20.47% of 23.98=4.908706
