What is 50.74 percent of 270.44 - 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 270.44 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 270.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 270.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 270.44=100%
2) x=50.74%
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:
270.44/x=100%/50.74%
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 50.74% of 270.44

270.44/x=100/50.74
(270.44/x)*x=(100/50.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
270.44=1.9708316909736*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9708316909736) to get x
270.44/1.9708316909736=x
137.221256=x
x=137.221256

now we have:
50.74% of 270.44=137.221256
