What is 49.9 percent of 95 - 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 95 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 95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 95=100%
2) x=49.9%
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:
95/x=100%/49.9%
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 49.9% of 95

95/x=100/49.9
(95/x)*x=(100/49.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
95=2.0040080160321*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0040080160321) to get x
95/2.0040080160321=x
47.405=x
x=47.405

now we have:
49.9% of 95=47.405
