What is 47.3 percent of 76 - 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 76 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 76 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76=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) 76=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:
76/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 76

76/x=100/47.3
(76/x)*x=(100/47.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76=2.1141649048626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1141649048626) to get x
76/2.1141649048626=x
35.948=x
x=35.948

now we have:
47.3% of 76=35.948
