What is 50.8 percent of 92 - 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 92 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 92 is 100%, so we can write it down as 92=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 92=100%
2) x=50.8%
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:
92/x=100%/50.8%
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 50.8% of 92

92/x=100/50.8
(92/x)*x=(100/50.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
92=1.9685039370079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9685039370079) to get x
92/1.9685039370079=x
46.736=x
x=46.736

now we have:
50.8% of 92=46.736
