What is 61.2 percent of 0.49 - 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 0.49 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 0.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 61.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=61.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.49=100%
2) x=61.2%
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:
0.49/x=100%/61.2%
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 61.2% of 0.49

0.49/x=100/61.2
(0.49/x)*x=(100/61.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.49=1.6339869281046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6339869281046) to get x
0.49/1.6339869281046=x
0.29988=x
x=0.29988

now we have:
61.2% of 0.49=0.29988
