What is 48.8 percent of 57.2 - 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 57.2 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 57.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57.2=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) 57.2=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:
57.2/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 57.2

57.2/x=100/48.8
(57.2/x)*x=(100/48.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57.2=2.0491803278689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0491803278689) to get x
57.2/2.0491803278689=x
27.9136=x
x=27.9136

now we have:
48.8% of 57.2=27.9136
