What is 15.45 percent of 395 - 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 395 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 395 is 100%, so we can write it down as 395=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 395=100%
2) x=15.45%
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:
395/x=100%/15.45%
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 15.45% of 395

395/x=100/15.45
(395/x)*x=(100/15.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
395=6.4724919093851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4724919093851) to get x
395/6.4724919093851=x
61.0275=x
x=61.0275

now we have:
15.45% of 395=61.0275
