What is 1.73 percent of 9047.86 - 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 9047.86 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 9047.86 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9047.86=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9047.86=100%
2) x=1.73%
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:
9047.86/x=100%/1.73%
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 1.73% of 9047.86

9047.86/x=100/1.73
(9047.86/x)*x=(100/1.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9047.86=57.803468208092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (57.803468208092) to get x
9047.86/57.803468208092=x
156.527978=x
x=156.527978

now we have:
