1. We assume, that the number 47.25 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 47.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 39.411764705882% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=39.411764705882%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.25=100%
2) x=39.411764705882%
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:
47.25/x=100%/39.411764705882%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
