What is 1.13 percent of 15300 - 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 15300 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 15300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.13%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15300=100%
2) x=1.13%
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:
15300/x=100%/1.13%
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 1.13% of 15300

15300/x=100/1.13
(15300/x)*x=(100/1.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15300=88.495575221239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (88.495575221239) to get x
15300/88.495575221239=x
172.89=x
x=172.89

now we have:
1.13% of 15300=172.89
