What is 52.8 percent of 38.24 - 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 38.24 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 38.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38.24=100%
2) x=52.8%
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:
38.24/x=100%/52.8%
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 52.8% of 38.24

38.24/x=100/52.8
(38.24/x)*x=(100/52.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38.24=1.8939393939394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8939393939394) to get x
38.24/1.8939393939394=x
20.19072=x
x=20.19072

now we have:
52.8% of 38.24=20.19072
