What is 47.23 percent of 57.2 - 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 57.2 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 57.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 57.2=100%
2) x=47.23%
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:
57.2/x=100%/47.23%
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 47.23% of 57.2

57.2/x=100/47.23
(57.2/x)*x=(100/47.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57.2=2.1172983273343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1172983273343) to get x
57.2/2.1172983273343=x
27.01556=x
x=27.01556

now we have:
47.23% of 57.2=27.01556
