What is 10.44 percent of 73.8 - 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 73.8 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 73.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73.8=100%
2) x=10.44%
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:
73.8/x=100%/10.44%
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 10.44% of 73.8

73.8/x=100/10.44
(73.8/x)*x=(100/10.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.8=9.5785440613027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5785440613027) to get x
73.8/9.5785440613027=x
7.70472=x
x=7.70472

now we have:
10.44% of 73.8=7.70472
