What is 40.299 percent of 88.458 - 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 88.458 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 88.458 is 100%, so we can write it down as 88.458=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.299% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.299%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 88.458=100%
2) x=40.299%
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:
88.458/x=100%/40.299%
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 40.299% of 88.458

88.458/x=100/40.299
(88.458/x)*x=(100/40.299)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
88.458=2.4814511526341*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4814511526341) to get x
88.458/2.4814511526341=x
35.64768942=x
x=35.64768942

now we have:
40.299% of 88.458=35.64768942
