What is 1.873 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.873% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.873%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=1.873%
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:
100/x=100%/1.873%
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 1.873% of 100

100/x=100/1.873
(100/x)*x=(100/1.873)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=53.3902829685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (53.3902829685) to get x
100/53.3902829685=x
1.873=x
x=1.873

now we have:
1.873% of 100=1.873
