What is 15.376 percent of 21.404 - 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 21.404 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 21.404 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.404=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.376% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.376%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.404=100%
2) x=15.376%
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:
21.404/x=100%/15.376%
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 15.376% of 21.404

21.404/x=100/15.376
(21.404/x)*x=(100/15.376)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.404=6.5036420395421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5036420395421) to get x
21.404/6.5036420395421=x
3.29107904=x
x=3.29107904

now we have:
15.376% of 21.404=3.29107904
