What is 47.3 percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60=100%
2) x=47.3%
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:
60/x=100%/47.3%
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 47.3% of 60

60/x=100/47.3
(60/x)*x=(100/47.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60=2.1141649048626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1141649048626) to get x
60/2.1141649048626=x
28.38=x
x=28.38

now we have:
47.3% of 60=28.38
