47.11 is what percent of 3248.52 - 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 3248.52 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 100% equals 3248.52, so we can write it down as 100%=3248.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 47.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3248.52
2) x%=47.11
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:
100%/x%=3248.52/47.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.11 is what percent of 3248.52

100%/x%=3248.52/47.11
(100/x)*x=(3248.52/47.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.956060284441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.956060284441) to get x
100/68.956060284441=x
1.4501988597885=x
x=1.4501988597885

now we have:
