What is 48.77 percent of 51.3 - 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 51.3 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 51.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.3=100%
2) x=48.77%
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:
51.3/x=100%/48.77%
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 48.77% of 51.3

51.3/x=100/48.77
(51.3/x)*x=(100/48.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.3=2.0504408447816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0504408447816) to get x
51.3/2.0504408447816=x
25.01901=x
x=25.01901

now we have:
48.77% of 51.3=25.01901
