What is 23.62 percent of 47 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47=100%
2) x=23.62%
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/x=100%/23.62%
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 23.62% of 47

47/x=100/23.62
(47/x)*x=(100/23.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47=4.233700254022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.233700254022) to get x
47/4.233700254022=x
11.1014=x
x=11.1014

now we have:
23.62% of 47=11.1014
