What is 10.56 percent of 17.372 - 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 17.372 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 17.372 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.372=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.372=100%
2) x=10.56%
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:
17.372/x=100%/10.56%
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 10.56% of 17.372

17.372/x=100/10.56
(17.372/x)*x=(100/10.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.372=9.469696969697*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.469696969697) to get x
17.372/9.469696969697=x
1.8344832=x
x=1.8344832

now we have:
10.56% of 17.372=1.8344832
