What is 14.73 percent of 6.38 - 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 6.38 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 6.38 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.38=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.38=100%
2) x=14.73%
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:
6.38/x=100%/14.73%
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 14.73% of 6.38

6.38/x=100/14.73
(6.38/x)*x=(100/14.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.38=6.7888662593347*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7888662593347) to get x
6.38/6.7888662593347=x
0.939774=x
x=0.939774

now we have:
14.73% of 6.38=0.939774
