What is 9.45 percent of 18.9 - 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 18.9 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 18.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.9=100%
2) x=9.45%
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:
18.9/x=100%/9.45%
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 9.45% of 18.9

18.9/x=100/9.45
(18.9/x)*x=(100/9.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.9=10.582010582011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.582010582011) to get x
18.9/10.582010582011=x
1.78605=x
x=1.78605

now we have:
9.45% of 18.9=1.78605
