What is 15.31 percent of 20.41 - 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 20.41 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 20.41 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.41=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.41=100%
2) x=15.31%
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:
20.41/x=100%/15.31%
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 15.31% of 20.41

20.41/x=100/15.31
(20.41/x)*x=(100/15.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.41=6.5316786414108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5316786414108) to get x
20.41/6.5316786414108=x
3.124771=x
x=3.124771

now we have:
15.31% of 20.41=3.124771
