What is 17.21 percent of 7.825 - 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 7.825 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 7.825 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.825=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.825=100%
2) x=17.21%
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:
7.825/x=100%/17.21%
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 17.21% of 7.825

7.825/x=100/17.21
(7.825/x)*x=(100/17.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.825=5.8105752469494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8105752469494) to get x
7.825/5.8105752469494=x
1.3466825=x
x=1.3466825

now we have:
17.21% of 7.825=1.3466825
