What is 42.956 percent of 55000 - 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 55000 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 55000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.956% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.956%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55000=100%
2) x=42.956%
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:
55000/x=100%/42.956%
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 42.956% of 55000

55000/x=100/42.956
(55000/x)*x=(100/42.956)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55000=2.3279634975324*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3279634975324) to get x
55000/2.3279634975324=x
23625.8=x
x=23625.8

now we have:
42.956% of 55000=23625.8
