What is 17.316 percent of 474 - 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 474 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 474 is 100%, so we can write it down as 474=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.316% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.316%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 474=100%
2) x=17.316%
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:
474/x=100%/17.316%
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 17.316% of 474

474/x=100/17.316
(474/x)*x=(100/17.316)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
474=5.7750057750058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7750057750058) to get x
474/5.7750057750058=x
82.07784=x
x=82.07784

now we have:
17.316% of 474=82.07784
