What is 48.75 percent of 2004 - 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 2004 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 2004 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2004=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2004=100%
2) x=48.75%
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:
2004/x=100%/48.75%
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 48.75% of 2004

2004/x=100/48.75
(2004/x)*x=(100/48.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2004=2.0512820512821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0512820512821) to get x
2004/2.0512820512821=x
976.95=x
x=976.95

now we have:
48.75% of 2004=976.95
