What is 17.4 percent of 1094.62 - 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 1094.62 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 1094.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1094.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1094.62=100%
2) x=17.4%
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:
1094.62/x=100%/17.4%
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 17.4% of 1094.62

1094.62/x=100/17.4
(1094.62/x)*x=(100/17.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1094.62=5.7471264367816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7471264367816) to get x
1094.62/5.7471264367816=x
190.46388=x
x=190.46388

now we have:
17.4% of 1094.62=190.46388
