48 is what percent of 810.79 - 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 810.79 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 810.79, so we can write it down as 100%=810.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=810.79
2) x%=48
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%=810.79/48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48 is what percent of 810.79

100%/x%=810.79/48
(100/x)*x=(810.79/48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.891458333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.891458333333) to get x
100/16.891458333333=x
5.9201519505667=x
x=5.9201519505667

now we have:
48 is 5.9201519505667% of 810.79
