What is 16.75 percent of 224.45 - 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 224.45 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 224.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 224.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 224.45=100%
2) x=16.75%
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:
224.45/x=100%/16.75%
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 16.75% of 224.45

224.45/x=100/16.75
(224.45/x)*x=(100/16.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
224.45=5.9701492537313*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9701492537313) to get x
224.45/5.9701492537313=x
37.595375=x
x=37.595375

now we have:
16.75% of 224.45=37.595375
