What is 6.48 percent of 42.48 - 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 42.48 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 42.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.48=100%
2) x=6.48%
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:
42.48/x=100%/6.48%
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 6.48% of 42.48

42.48/x=100/6.48
(42.48/x)*x=(100/6.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42.48=15.432098765432*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.432098765432) to get x
42.48/15.432098765432=x
2.752704=x
x=2.752704

now we have:
6.48% of 42.48=2.752704
