What is 5.64 percent of 48.75 - 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 48.75 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 48.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48.75=100%
2) x=5.64%
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:
48.75/x=100%/5.64%
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 5.64% of 48.75

48.75/x=100/5.64
(48.75/x)*x=(100/5.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48.75=17.730496453901*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.730496453901) to get x
48.75/17.730496453901=x
2.7495=x
x=2.7495

now we have:
5.64% of 48.75=2.7495
