What is 17.72 percent of 75.14 - 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 75.14 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 75.14 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75.14=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75.14=100%
2) x=17.72%
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:
75.14/x=100%/17.72%
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 17.72% of 75.14

75.14/x=100/17.72
(75.14/x)*x=(100/17.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75.14=5.6433408577878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6433408577878) to get x
75.14/5.6433408577878=x
13.314808=x
x=13.314808

now we have:
17.72% of 75.14=13.314808
