What is 1.84 percent of 2172 - 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 2172 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 2172 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2172=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2172=100%
2) x=1.84%
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:
2172/x=100%/1.84%
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 1.84% of 2172

2172/x=100/1.84
(2172/x)*x=(100/1.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2172=54.347826086957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (54.347826086957) to get x
2172/54.347826086957=x
39.9648=x
x=39.9648

now we have:
1.84% of 2172=39.9648
