What is 82.71 percent of 45.95 - 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 45.95 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 45.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 82.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=82.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.95=100%
2) x=82.71%
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:
45.95/x=100%/82.71%
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 82.71% of 45.95

45.95/x=100/82.71
(45.95/x)*x=(100/82.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.95=1.2090436464756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2090436464756) to get x
45.95/1.2090436464756=x
38.005245=x
x=38.005245

now we have:
82.71% of 45.95=38.005245
