What is 48.17 percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=48.17%
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:
75/x=100%/48.17%
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 48.17% of 75

75/x=100/48.17
(75/x)*x=(100/48.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=2.0759809009757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0759809009757) to get x
75/2.0759809009757=x
36.1275=x
x=36.1275

now we have:
48.17% of 75=36.1275
