What is 43 percent of 47.3 - 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 47.3 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 47.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.3=100%
2) x=43%
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:
47.3/x=100%/43%
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 43% of 47.3

47.3/x=100/43
(47.3/x)*x=(100/43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47.3=2.32558139535*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.32558139535) to get x
47.3/2.32558139535=x
20.339=x
x=20.339

now we have:
43% of 47.3=20.339
