What is 54.7 percent of 960 - 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 960 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 960 is 100%, so we can write it down as 960=100%.
4. We know, that x is 54.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=54.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 960=100%
2) x=54.7%
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:
960/x=100%/54.7%
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 54.7% of 960

960/x=100/54.7
(960/x)*x=(100/54.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
960=1.8281535648995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8281535648995) to get x
960/1.8281535648995=x
525.12=x
x=525.12

now we have:
54.7% of 960=525.12
