What is 45.78 percent of 47.558 - 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 47.558 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 47.558 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.558=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.558=100%
2) x=45.78%
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:
47.558/x=100%/45.78%
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 45.78% of 47.558

47.558/x=100/45.78
(47.558/x)*x=(100/45.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47.558=2.1843599825251*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1843599825251) to get x
47.558/2.1843599825251=x
21.7720524=x
x=21.7720524

now we have:
