What is 38.68 percent of 122 - 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 122 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 122 is 100%, so we can write it down as 122=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 122=100%
2) x=38.68%
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:
122/x=100%/38.68%
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 38.68% of 122

122/x=100/38.68
(122/x)*x=(100/38.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
122=2.5853154084798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5853154084798) to get x
122/2.5853154084798=x
47.1896=x
x=47.1896

now we have:
38.68% of 122=47.1896
