What is 15.495 percent of 10 - 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 10 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 10 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.495% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.495%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10=100%
2) x=15.495%
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:
10/x=100%/15.495%
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 15.495% of 10

10/x=100/15.495
(10/x)*x=(100/15.495)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10=6.4536947402388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4536947402388) to get x
10/6.4536947402388=x
1.5495=x
x=1.5495

now we have:
15.495% of 10=1.5495
