What is 40.7 percent of 49200 - 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 49200 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 49200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49200=100%
2) x=40.7%
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:
49200/x=100%/40.7%
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 40.7% of 49200

49200/x=100/40.7
(49200/x)*x=(100/40.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49200=2.4570024570025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4570024570025) to get x
49200/2.4570024570025=x
20024.4=x
x=20024.4

now we have:
40.7% of 49200=20024.4
