What is 10.26 percent of 176 - 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 176 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 176 is 100%, so we can write it down as 176=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 176=100%
2) x=10.26%
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:
176/x=100%/10.26%
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 10.26% of 176

176/x=100/10.26
(176/x)*x=(100/10.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
176=9.7465886939571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7465886939571) to get x
176/9.7465886939571=x
18.0576=x
x=18.0576

now we have:
10.26% of 176=18.0576
