What is 15.27 percent of 517.74 - 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 517.74 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 517.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 517.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 517.74=100%
2) x=15.27%
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:
517.74/x=100%/15.27%
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 15.27% of 517.74

517.74/x=100/15.27
(517.74/x)*x=(100/15.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
517.74=6.5487884741323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5487884741323) to get x
517.74/6.5487884741323=x
79.058898=x
x=79.058898

now we have:
15.27% of 517.74=79.058898
