What is 10.7205 percent of 165000 - 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 165000 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 165000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 165000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.7205% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.7205%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 165000=100%
2) x=10.7205%
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:
165000/x=100%/10.7205%
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 10.7205% of 165000

165000/x=100/10.7205
(165000/x)*x=(100/10.7205)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
165000=9.3279231379133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3279231379133) to get x
165000/9.3279231379133=x
17688.825=x
x=17688.825

now we have:
10.7205% of 165000=17688.825
