What is 10.7142857143 percent of 1.74 - 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 1.74 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 1.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.7142857143% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.7142857143%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.74=100%
2) x=10.7142857143%
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:
1.74/x=100%/10.7142857143%
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 10.7142857143% of 1.74

1.74/x=100/10.7142857143
(1.74/x)*x=(100/10.7142857143)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.74=9.3333333333209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3333333333209) to get x
1.74/9.3333333333209=x
0.18642857142882=x
x=0.18642857142882

now we have:
10.7142857143% of 1.74=0.18642857142882
