What is 18.625 percent of 84.34 - 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 84.34 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 84.34 is 100%, so we can write it down as 84.34=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 84.34=100%
2) x=18.625%
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:
84.34/x=100%/18.625%
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 18.625% of 84.34

84.34/x=100/18.625
(84.34/x)*x=(100/18.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
84.34=5.3691275167785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3691275167785) to get x
84.34/5.3691275167785=x
15.708325=x
x=15.708325

now we have:
18.625% of 84.34=15.708325
