What is 47.379 percent of 1.052 - 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 1.052 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 1.052 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.052=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.379% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.379%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.052=100%
2) x=47.379%
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:
1.052/x=100%/47.379%
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 47.379% of 1.052

1.052/x=100/47.379
(1.052/x)*x=(100/47.379)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.052=2.1106397349036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1106397349036) to get x
1.052/2.1106397349036=x
0.49842708=x
x=0.49842708

now we have:
47.379% of 1.052=0.49842708
