What is 20.64 percent of 358 - 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 358 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 358 is 100%, so we can write it down as 358=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 358=100%
2) x=20.64%
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:
358/x=100%/20.64%
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 20.64% of 358

358/x=100/20.64
(358/x)*x=(100/20.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
358=4.8449612403101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8449612403101) to get x
358/4.8449612403101=x
73.8912=x
x=73.8912

now we have:
20.64% of 358=73.8912
