What is 47.75 percent of 62 - 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 62 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 62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62=100%
2) x=47.75%
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:
62/x=100%/47.75%
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 47.75% of 62

62/x=100/47.75
(62/x)*x=(100/47.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62=2.0942408376963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0942408376963) to get x
62/2.0942408376963=x
29.605=x
x=29.605

now we have:
47.75% of 62=29.605
