What is 15.54 percent of 51.67 - 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 51.67 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 51.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.67=100%
2) x=15.54%
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:
51.67/x=100%/15.54%
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 15.54% of 51.67

51.67/x=100/15.54
(51.67/x)*x=(100/15.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.67=6.4350064350064*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4350064350064) to get x
51.67/6.4350064350064=x
8.029518=x
x=8.029518

now we have:
15.54% of 51.67=8.029518
