What is 47.18 percent of 1199 - 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 1199 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 1199 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1199=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1199=100%
2) x=47.18%
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:
1199/x=100%/47.18%
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 47.18% of 1199

1199/x=100/47.18
(1199/x)*x=(100/47.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1199=2.1195421788894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1195421788894) to get x
1199/2.1195421788894=x
565.6882=x
x=565.6882

now we have:
47.18% of 1199=565.6882
