What is 34.15 percent of 47.12 - 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 47.12 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 47.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.12=100%
2) x=34.15%
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:
47.12/x=100%/34.15%
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 34.15% of 47.12

47.12/x=100/34.15
(47.12/x)*x=(100/34.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47.12=2.9282576866764*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9282576866764) to get x
47.12/2.9282576866764=x
16.09148=x
x=16.09148

now we have:
34.15% of 47.12=16.09148
