What is 47.85 percent of 173.74 - 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 173.74 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 173.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 173.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 173.74=100%
2) x=47.85%
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:
173.74/x=100%/47.85%
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 47.85% of 173.74

173.74/x=100/47.85
(173.74/x)*x=(100/47.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
173.74=2.0898641588297*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0898641588297) to get x
173.74/2.0898641588297=x
83.13459=x
x=83.13459

now we have:
47.85% of 173.74=83.13459
