What is 50.875 percent of 0.49 - 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 0.49 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 0.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.49=100%
2) x=50.875%
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:
0.49/x=100%/50.875%
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 50.875% of 0.49

0.49/x=100/50.875
(0.49/x)*x=(100/50.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.49=1.965601965602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.965601965602) to get x
0.49/1.965601965602=x
0.2492875=x
x=0.2492875

now we have:
50.875% of 0.49=0.2492875
