What is 46.06 percent of 47 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.06% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.06%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47=100%
2) x=46.06%
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/x=100%/46.06%
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 46.06% of 47

47/x=100/46.06
(47/x)*x=(100/46.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47=2.1710811984368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1710811984368) to get x
47/2.1710811984368=x
21.6482=x
x=21.6482

now we have:
46.06% of 47=21.6482
