What is 48.3 percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60=100%
2) x=48.3%
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:
60/x=100%/48.3%
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 48.3% of 60

60/x=100/48.3
(60/x)*x=(100/48.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60=2.0703933747412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0703933747412) to get x
60/2.0703933747412=x
28.98=x
x=28.98

now we have:
48.3% of 60=28.98
