What is 48.8 percent of 4.53 - 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 4.53 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 4.53 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.53=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) 4.53=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:
4.53/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 4.53

4.53/x=100/48.8
(4.53/x)*x=(100/48.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.53=2.0491803278689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0491803278689) to get x
4.53/2.0491803278689=x
2.21064=x
x=2.21064

now we have:
48.8% of 4.53=2.21064
