What is 23.33 percent of 49.4 - 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 49.4 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 49.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49.4=100%
2) x=23.33%
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:
49.4/x=100%/23.33%
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 23.33% of 49.4

49.4/x=100/23.33
(49.4/x)*x=(100/23.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49.4=4.2863266180883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2863266180883) to get x
49.4/4.2863266180883=x
11.52502=x
x=11.52502

now we have:
23.33% of 49.4=11.52502
