What is 1 percent of 21827 - 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 21827 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 21827 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21827=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21827=100%
2) x=1%
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:
21827/x=100%/1%
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 1% of 21827

21827/x=100/1
(21827/x)*x=(100/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21827=100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
21827/100=x
218.27=x
x=218.27

now we have:
1% of 21827=218.27
