What is 27.3 percent of 40948 - 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 40948 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 40948 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40948=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40948=100%
2) x=27.3%
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:
40948/x=100%/27.3%
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 27.3% of 40948

40948/x=100/27.3
(40948/x)*x=(100/27.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40948=3.6630036630037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6630036630037) to get x
40948/3.6630036630037=x
11178.804=x
x=11178.804

now we have:
27.3% of 40948=11178.804
