What is 36.75 percent of 49 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49=100%
2) x=36.75%
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/x=100%/36.75%
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 36.75% of 49

49/x=100/36.75
(49/x)*x=(100/36.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49=2.7210884353741*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7210884353741) to get x
49/2.7210884353741=x
18.0075=x
x=18.0075

now we have:
36.75% of 49=18.0075
