What is 53.88 percent of 238.62 - 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 238.62 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 238.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 238.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 53.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=53.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 238.62=100%
2) x=53.88%
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:
238.62/x=100%/53.88%
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 53.88% of 238.62

238.62/x=100/53.88
(238.62/x)*x=(100/53.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
238.62=1.8559762435041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8559762435041) to get x
238.62/1.8559762435041=x
128.568456=x
x=128.568456

now we have:
