What is 57.78 percent of 45 - 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 45 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 45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45=100%
2) x=57.78%
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:
45/x=100%/57.78%
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 57.78% of 45

45/x=100/57.78
(45/x)*x=(100/57.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45=1.7307026652821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7307026652821) to get x
45/1.7307026652821=x
26.001=x
x=26.001

now we have:
57.78% of 45=26.001
