What is 48 percent of 4.89 - 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 4.89 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 4.89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.89=100%
2) x=48%
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:
4.89/x=100%/48%
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 48% of 4.89

4.89/x=100/48
(4.89/x)*x=(100/48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.89=2.0833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0833333333333) to get x
4.89/2.0833333333333=x
2.3472=x
x=2.3472

now we have:
48% of 4.89=2.3472
