What is 60.99 percent of 48.38 - 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 48.38 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 48.38 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48.38=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48.38=100%
2) x=60.99%
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:
48.38/x=100%/60.99%
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 60.99% of 48.38

48.38/x=100/60.99
(48.38/x)*x=(100/60.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48.38=1.6396130513199*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6396130513199) to get x
48.38/1.6396130513199=x
29.506962=x
x=29.506962

now we have:
60.99% of 48.38=29.506962
