What is 51.45 percent of 73.93 - 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 73.93 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 73.93 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.93=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73.93=100%
2) x=51.45%
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:
73.93/x=100%/51.45%
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 51.45% of 73.93

73.93/x=100/51.45
(73.93/x)*x=(100/51.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.93=1.9436345966958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9436345966958) to get x
73.93/1.9436345966958=x
38.036985=x
x=38.036985

now we have:
51.45% of 73.93=38.036985
