What is 37.83 percent of 115 - 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 115 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 115 is 100%, so we can write it down as 115=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 115=100%
2) x=37.83%
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:
115/x=100%/37.83%
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 37.83% of 115

115/x=100/37.83
(115/x)*x=(100/37.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
115=2.6434047052604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6434047052604) to get x
115/2.6434047052604=x
43.5045=x
x=43.5045

now we have:
37.83% of 115=43.5045
