What is 18.52 percent of 54 - 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 54 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 54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 54=100%
2) x=18.52%
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:
54/x=100%/18.52%
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 18.52% of 54

54/x=100/18.52
(54/x)*x=(100/18.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
54=5.3995680345572*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3995680345572) to get x
54/5.3995680345572=x
10.0008=x
x=10.0008

now we have:
18.52% of 54=10.0008
