What is 368 percent of 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 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 48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 368% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=368%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48=100%
2) x=368%
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:
48/x=100%/368%
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 368% of 48

48/x=100/368
(48/x)*x=(100/368)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48=0.27173913043478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27173913043478) to get x
48/0.27173913043478=x
176.64=x
x=176.64

now we have:
368% of 48=176.64
