Answer:

47 percent *900 =

(47:100)*900 =

(47*900):100 =

42300:100 = 423

Now we have: 47 percent of 900 = 423

Question: What is 47 percent of 900?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 900.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$900=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=47\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$900=100\%(1)$.

$x=47\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{900}{x}=\frac{100\%}{47\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{900}=\frac{47}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=423$

Therefore, $47\%$ of $900$ is $423$
