What is 47840 percent of 12 - 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 12 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 12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47840% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47840%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12=100%
2) x=47840%
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:
12/x=100%/47840%
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 47840% of 12

12/x=100/47840
(12/x)*x=(100/47840)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12=0.0020903010033445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0020903010033445) to get x
12/0.0020903010033445=x
5740.8=x
x=5740.8

now we have:
47840% of 12=5740.8
