What is 49.8 percent of 120.5 - 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 120.5 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 120.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120.5=100%
2) x=49.8%
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:
120.5/x=100%/49.8%
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 49.8% of 120.5

120.5/x=100/49.8
(120.5/x)*x=(100/49.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120.5=2.0080321285141*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0080321285141) to get x
120.5/2.0080321285141=x
60.009=x
x=60.009

now we have:
49.8% of 120.5=60.009
