What is 57.57 percent of 47 - 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 47 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 47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47=100%
2) x=57.57%
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:
47/x=100%/57.57%
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 57.57% of 47

47/x=100/57.57
(47/x)*x=(100/57.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47=1.7370158068438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7370158068438) to get x
47/1.7370158068438=x
27.0579=x
x=27.0579

now we have:
57.57% of 47=27.0579
