What is 41.7391304348 percent of 115 - 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 115 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 115 is 100%, so we can write it down as 115=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.7391304348% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.7391304348%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 115=100%
2) x=41.7391304348%
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:
115/x=100%/41.7391304348%
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 41.7391304348% of 115

115/x=100/41.7391304348
(115/x)*x=(100/41.7391304348)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
115=2.3958333333323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3958333333323) to get x
115/2.3958333333323=x
48.00000000002=x
x=48.00000000002

now we have:
41.7391304348% of 115=48.00000000002
