What is 1.118 percent of 17.392 - 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 17.392 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 17.392 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.392=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.392=100%
2) x=1.118%
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:
17.392/x=100%/1.118%
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 1.118% of 17.392

17.392/x=100/1.118
(17.392/x)*x=(100/1.118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.392=89.445438282648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (89.445438282648) to get x
17.392/89.445438282648=x
0.19444256=x
x=0.19444256

now we have:
