What is 42.83 percent of 2.472 - 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 2.472 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 2.472 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.472=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.472=100%
2) x=42.83%
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:
2.472/x=100%/42.83%
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 42.83% of 2.472

2.472/x=100/42.83
(2.472/x)*x=(100/42.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.472=2.3348120476302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3348120476302) to get x
2.472/2.3348120476302=x
1.0587576=x
x=1.0587576

now we have:
42.83% of 2.472=1.0587576
