What is 18.96 percent of 948 - 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 948 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 948 is 100%, so we can write it down as 948=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 948=100%
2) x=18.96%
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:
948/x=100%/18.96%
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 18.96% of 948

948/x=100/18.96
(948/x)*x=(100/18.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
948=5.2742616033755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2742616033755) to get x
948/5.2742616033755=x
179.7408=x
x=179.7408

now we have:
18.96% of 948=179.7408
