What is 47 percent of 1075 - 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 1075 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 1075 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1075=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1075=100%
2) x=47%
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:
1075/x=100%/47%
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 47% of 1075

1075/x=100/47
(1075/x)*x=(100/47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1075=2.1276595744681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1276595744681) to get x
1075/2.1276595744681=x
505.25=x
x=505.25

now we have:
47% of 1075=505.25
