What is 19.37 percent of 74 - 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 74 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 74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74=100%
2) x=19.37%
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:
74/x=100%/19.37%
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 19.37% of 74

74/x=100/19.37
(74/x)*x=(100/19.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74=5.162622612287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.162622612287) to get x
74/5.162622612287=x
14.3338=x
x=14.3338

now we have:
19.37% of 74=14.3338
