What is 31.03 percent of 49.48 - 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 49.48 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 49.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49.48=100%
2) x=31.03%
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:
49.48/x=100%/31.03%
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 31.03% of 49.48

49.48/x=100/31.03
(49.48/x)*x=(100/31.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49.48=3.2226877215598*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2226877215598) to get x
49.48/3.2226877215598=x
15.353644=x
x=15.353644

now we have:
31.03% of 49.48=15.353644
