What is 35.94 percent of 50 - 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 50 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 50 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50=100%
2) x=35.94%
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:
50/x=100%/35.94%
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 35.94% of 50

50/x=100/35.94
(50/x)*x=(100/35.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50=2.7824151363383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7824151363383) to get x
50/2.7824151363383=x
17.97=x
x=17.97

now we have:
35.94% of 50=17.97
