What is 57.3 percent of 83.3 - 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 83.3 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 83.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 83.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 83.3=100%
2) x=57.3%
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:
83.3/x=100%/57.3%
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 57.3% of 83.3

83.3/x=100/57.3
(83.3/x)*x=(100/57.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
83.3=1.7452006980803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7452006980803) to get x
83.3/1.7452006980803=x
47.7309=x
x=47.7309

now we have:
57.3% of 83.3=47.7309
