What is 50 percent of 75.093 - 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 75.093 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 75.093 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75.093=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75.093=100%
2) x=50%
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:
75.093/x=100%/50%
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 50% of 75.093

75.093/x=100/50
(75.093/x)*x=(100/50)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75.093=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
75.093/2=x
37.5465=x
x=37.5465

now we have:
50% of 75.093=37.5465
