What is 47.95 percent of 62.5 - 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 62.5 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 62.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62.5=100%
2) x=47.95%
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:
62.5/x=100%/47.95%
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 47.95% of 62.5

62.5/x=100/47.95
(62.5/x)*x=(100/47.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62.5=2.0855057351408*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0855057351408) to get x
62.5/2.0855057351408=x
29.96875=x
x=29.96875

now we have:
47.95% of 62.5=29.96875
