What is 17.743 percent of 31.346 - 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 31.346 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 31.346 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31.346=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.743% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.743%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31.346=100%
2) x=17.743%
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:
31.346/x=100%/17.743%
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 17.743% of 31.346

31.346/x=100/17.743
(31.346/x)*x=(100/17.743)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31.346=5.6360254748351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6360254748351) to get x
31.346/5.6360254748351=x
5.56172078=x
x=5.56172078

now we have:
