What is 23.22 percent of 472 - 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 472 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 472 is 100%, so we can write it down as 472=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 472=100%
2) x=23.22%
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:
472/x=100%/23.22%
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 23.22% of 472

472/x=100/23.22
(472/x)*x=(100/23.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
472=4.306632213609*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.306632213609) to get x
472/4.306632213609=x
109.5984=x
x=109.5984

now we have:
23.22% of 472=109.5984
