What is 87.86 percent of 48300 - 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 48300 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 48300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 87.86% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=87.86%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48300=100%
2) x=87.86%
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:
48300/x=100%/87.86%
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 87.86% of 48300

48300/x=100/87.86
(48300/x)*x=(100/87.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48300=1.1381743683132*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1381743683132) to get x
48300/1.1381743683132=x
42436.38=x
x=42436.38

now we have:
87.86% of 48300=42436.38
