What is 52.45 percent of 40.32 - 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 40.32 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 40.32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40.32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40.32=100%
2) x=52.45%
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:
40.32/x=100%/52.45%
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 52.45% of 40.32

40.32/x=100/52.45
(40.32/x)*x=(100/52.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40.32=1.906577693041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.906577693041) to get x
40.32/1.906577693041=x
21.14784=x
x=21.14784

now we have:
52.45% of 40.32=21.14784
