What is 42.75 percent of 422.91 - 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 422.91 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 422.91 is 100%, so we can write it down as 422.91=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 422.91=100%
2) x=42.75%
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:
422.91/x=100%/42.75%
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 42.75% of 422.91

422.91/x=100/42.75
(422.91/x)*x=(100/42.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
422.91=2.3391812865497*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3391812865497) to get x
422.91/2.3391812865497=x
180.794025=x
x=180.794025

now we have:
42.75% of 422.91=180.794025
