What is 15.53 percent of 52.85 - 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 52.85 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 52.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52.85=100%
2) x=15.53%
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:
52.85/x=100%/15.53%
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 15.53% of 52.85

52.85/x=100/15.53
(52.85/x)*x=(100/15.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52.85=6.4391500321958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4391500321958) to get x
52.85/6.4391500321958=x
8.207605=x
x=8.207605

now we have:
15.53% of 52.85=8.207605
