What is 48.38 percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9=100%
2) x=48.38%
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:
9/x=100%/48.38%
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 48.38% of 9

9/x=100/48.38
(9/x)*x=(100/48.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9=2.0669698222406*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0669698222406) to get x
9/2.0669698222406=x
4.3542=x
x=4.3542

now we have:
48.38% of 9=4.3542
