What is 45.83 percent of 144 - 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 144 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 144 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144=100%
2) x=45.83%
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:
144/x=100%/45.83%
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 45.83% of 144

144/x=100/45.83
(144/x)*x=(100/45.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144=2.1819768710452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1819768710452) to get x
144/2.1819768710452=x
65.9952=x
x=65.9952

now we have:
45.83% of 144=65.9952
