What is 47.25 percent of 66 - 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 66 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 66 is 100%, so we can write it down as 66=100%.
4. We know, that x is 47.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 66=100%
2) x=47.25%
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:
66/x=100%/47.25%
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 47.25% of 66

66/x=100/47.25
(66/x)*x=(100/47.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
66=2.1164021164021*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1164021164021) to get x
66/2.1164021164021=x
31.185=x
x=31.185

now we have:
47.25% of 66=31.185
