What is 47.31 percent of 3.212 - 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 3.212 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 3.212 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.212=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.212=100%
2) x=47.31%
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:
3.212/x=100%/47.31%
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 47.31% of 3.212

3.212/x=100/47.31
(3.212/x)*x=(100/47.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.212=2.1137180300148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1137180300148) to get x
3.212/2.1137180300148=x
1.5195972=x
x=1.5195972

now we have:
47.31% of 3.212=1.5195972
