What is 17.6 percent of 1435 - 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 1435 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 1435 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1435=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1435=100%
2) x=17.6%
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:
1435/x=100%/17.6%
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 17.6% of 1435

1435/x=100/17.6
(1435/x)*x=(100/17.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1435=5.6818181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6818181818182) to get x
1435/5.6818181818182=x
252.56=x
x=252.56

now we have:
17.6% of 1435=252.56
