What is 30.27 percent of 42.27 - 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 42.27 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 42.27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.27=100%
2) x=30.27%
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:
42.27/x=100%/30.27%
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 30.27% of 42.27

42.27/x=100/30.27
(42.27/x)*x=(100/30.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42.27=3.3036009250083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3036009250083) to get x
42.27/3.3036009250083=x
12.795129=x
x=12.795129

now we have:
30.27% of 42.27=12.795129
