What is 35.77 percent of 47420 - 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 47420 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 47420 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47420=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47420=100%
2) x=35.77%
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:
47420/x=100%/35.77%
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 35.77% of 47420

47420/x=100/35.77
(47420/x)*x=(100/35.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47420=2.7956388034666*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7956388034666) to get x
47420/2.7956388034666=x
16962.134=x
x=16962.134

now we have:
35.77% of 47420=16962.134
