What is 10.6 percent of 1860 - 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 1860 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 1860 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1860=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1860=100%
2) x=10.6%
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:
1860/x=100%/10.6%
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 10.6% of 1860

1860/x=100/10.6
(1860/x)*x=(100/10.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1860=9.4339622641509*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4339622641509) to get x
1860/9.4339622641509=x
197.16=x
x=197.16

now we have:
10.6% of 1860=197.16
