What is 48.8 percent of 244 - 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 244 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 244 is 100%, so we can write it down as 244=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) 244=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:
244/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 244

244/x=100/48.8
(244/x)*x=(100/48.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
244=2.0491803278689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0491803278689) to get x
244/2.0491803278689=x
119.072=x
x=119.072

now we have:
48.8% of 244=119.072
