What is 15.18 percent of 76600 - 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 76600 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 76600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76600=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) 76600=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:
76600/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 76600

76600/x=100/15.18
(76600/x)*x=(100/15.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76600=6.5876152832675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5876152832675) to get x
76600/6.5876152832675=x
11627.88=x
x=11627.88

now we have:
15.18% of 76600=11627.88
