What is 17.44 percent of 2150 - 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 2150 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 2150 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2150=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2150=100%
2) x=17.44%
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:
2150/x=100%/17.44%
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 17.44% of 2150

2150/x=100/17.44
(2150/x)*x=(100/17.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2150=5.7339449541284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7339449541284) to get x
2150/5.7339449541284=x
374.96=x
x=374.96

now we have:
17.44% of 2150=374.96
