What is 15.18 percent of 387.69 - 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 387.69 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 387.69 is 100%, so we can write it down as 387.69=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 387.69=100%
2) x=15.18%
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:
387.69/x=100%/15.18%
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 15.18% of 387.69

387.69/x=100/15.18
(387.69/x)*x=(100/15.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
387.69=6.5876152832675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5876152832675) to get x
387.69/6.5876152832675=x
58.851342=x
x=58.851342

now we have:
15.18% of 387.69=58.851342
