What is 15.45 percent of 904 - 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 904 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 904 is 100%, so we can write it down as 904=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 904=100%
2) x=15.45%
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:
904/x=100%/15.45%
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 15.45% of 904

904/x=100/15.45
(904/x)*x=(100/15.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
904=6.4724919093851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4724919093851) to get x
904/6.4724919093851=x
139.668=x
x=139.668

now we have:
15.45% of 904=139.668
