What is 4.57 percent of 20.3 - 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 20.3 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 20.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.3=100%
2) x=4.57%
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:
20.3/x=100%/4.57%
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 4.57% of 20.3

20.3/x=100/4.57
(20.3/x)*x=(100/4.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.3=21.881838074398*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.881838074398) to get x
20.3/21.881838074398=x
0.92771=x
x=0.92771

now we have:
4.57% of 20.3=0.92771
