What is 0.825 percent of 18.71 - 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 18.71 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 18.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.825% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.825%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.71=100%
2) x=0.825%
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:
18.71/x=100%/0.825%
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 0.825% of 18.71

18.71/x=100/0.825
(18.71/x)*x=(100/0.825)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.71=121.21212121212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (121.21212121212) to get x
18.71/121.21212121212=x
0.1543575=x
x=0.1543575

now we have:
0.825% of 18.71=0.1543575
