What is 48.51 percent of 253 - 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 253 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 253 is 100%, so we can write it down as 253=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 253=100%
2) x=48.51%
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:
253/x=100%/48.51%
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 48.51% of 253

253/x=100/48.51
(253/x)*x=(100/48.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
253=2.0614306328592*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0614306328592) to get x
253/2.0614306328592=x
122.7303=x
x=122.7303

now we have:
48.51% of 253=122.7303
