What is 18.76 percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=18.76%
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:
75/x=100%/18.76%
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 18.76% of 75

75/x=100/18.76
(75/x)*x=(100/18.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=5.3304904051173*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3304904051173) to get x
75/5.3304904051173=x
14.07=x
x=14.07

now we have:
18.76% of 75=14.07
