What is 21.48 percent of 1877 - 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 1877 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 1877 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1877=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1877=100%
2) x=21.48%
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:
1877/x=100%/21.48%
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 21.48% of 1877

1877/x=100/21.48
(1877/x)*x=(100/21.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1877=4.6554934823091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6554934823091) to get x
1877/4.6554934823091=x
403.1796=x
x=403.1796

now we have:
21.48% of 1877=403.1796
