What is 38.52 percent of 230.24 - 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 230.24 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 230.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 230.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 230.24=100%
2) x=38.52%
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:
230.24/x=100%/38.52%
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 38.52% of 230.24

230.24/x=100/38.52
(230.24/x)*x=(100/38.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
230.24=2.5960539979232*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5960539979232) to get x
230.24/2.5960539979232=x
88.688448=x
x=88.688448

now we have:
38.52% of 230.24=88.688448
