What is 137.17 percent of 21.47 - 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 21.47 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 21.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 137.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=137.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.47=100%
2) x=137.17%
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:
21.47/x=100%/137.17%
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 137.17% of 21.47

21.47/x=100/137.17
(21.47/x)*x=(100/137.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.47=0.7290223809871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.7290223809871) to get x
21.47/0.7290223809871=x
29.450399=x
x=29.450399

now we have:
137.17% of 21.47=29.450399
