What is 48.1 percent of 1107 - 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 1107 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 1107 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1107=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1107=100%
2) x=48.1%
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:
1107/x=100%/48.1%
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 48.1% of 1107

1107/x=100/48.1
(1107/x)*x=(100/48.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1107=2.0790020790021*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0790020790021) to get x
1107/2.0790020790021=x
532.467=x
x=532.467

now we have:
48.1% of 1107=532.467
