What is 48.2 percent of 1486 - 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 1486 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 1486 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1486=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1486=100%
2) x=48.2%
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:
1486/x=100%/48.2%
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 48.2% of 1486

1486/x=100/48.2
(1486/x)*x=(100/48.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1486=2.0746887966805*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0746887966805) to get x
1486/2.0746887966805=x
716.252=x
x=716.252

now we have:
48.2% of 1486=716.252
