What is 47.5 percent of 43494.44 - 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 43494.44 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 43494.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43494.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43494.44=100%
2) x=47.5%
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:
43494.44/x=100%/47.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
