What is 50.09 percent of 46.77 - 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 46.77 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 46.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 46.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 46.77=100%
2) x=50.09%
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:
46.77/x=100%/50.09%
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 50.09% of 46.77

46.77/x=100/50.09
(46.77/x)*x=(100/50.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
46.77=1.996406468357*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.996406468357) to get x
46.77/1.996406468357=x
23.427093=x
x=23.427093

now we have:
50.09% of 46.77=23.427093
