What is 15.724 percent of 94.941 - 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 94.941 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 94.941 is 100%, so we can write it down as 94.941=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.724% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.724%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 94.941=100%
2) x=15.724%
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:
94.941/x=100%/15.724%
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 15.724% of 94.941

94.941/x=100/15.724
(94.941/x)*x=(100/15.724)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
94.941=6.3597049096922*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3597049096922) to get x
94.941/6.3597049096922=x
14.92852284=x
x=14.92852284

now we have:
15.724% of 94.941=14.92852284
