What is 49.2 percent of 35.83 - 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 35.83 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 35.83 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.83=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.83=100%
2) x=49.2%
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:
35.83/x=100%/49.2%
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 49.2% of 35.83

35.83/x=100/49.2
(35.83/x)*x=(100/49.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.83=2.0325203252033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0325203252033) to get x
35.83/2.0325203252033=x
17.62836=x
x=17.62836

now we have:
49.2% of 35.83=17.62836
