What is 89 percent of 53.044 - 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 53.044 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 53.044 is 100%, so we can write it down as 53.044=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 53.044=100%
2) x=89%
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:
53.044/x=100%/89%
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 89% of 53.044

53.044/x=100/89
(53.044/x)*x=(100/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
53.044=1.123595505618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.123595505618) to get x
53.044/1.123595505618=x
47.20916=x
x=47.20916

now we have:
89% of 53.044=47.20916
