What is 51.02 percent of 117.6 - 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 117.6 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 117.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 117.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 117.6=100%
2) x=51.02%
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:
117.6/x=100%/51.02%
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 51.02% of 117.6

117.6/x=100/51.02
(117.6/x)*x=(100/51.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
117.6=1.9600156801254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9600156801254) to get x
117.6/1.9600156801254=x
59.99952=x
x=59.99952

now we have:
51.02% of 117.6=59.99952
