What is 79.28 percent of 5.48 - 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 5.48 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 5.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 79.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=79.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.48=100%
2) x=79.28%
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:
5.48/x=100%/79.28%
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 79.28% of 5.48

5.48/x=100/79.28
(5.48/x)*x=(100/79.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.48=1.2613521695257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2613521695257) to get x
5.48/1.2613521695257=x
4.344544=x
x=4.344544

now we have:
79.28% of 5.48=4.344544
