What is 48.8 percent of 100736 - 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 100736 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 100736 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100736=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100736=100%
2) x=48.8%
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:
100736/x=100%/48.8%
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 48.8% of 100736

100736/x=100/48.8
(100736/x)*x=(100/48.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100736=2.0491803278689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0491803278689) to get x
100736/2.0491803278689=x
49159.168=x
x=49159.168

now we have:
48.8% of 100736=49159.168
