What is 17.81 percent of 0.73 - 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 0.73 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 0.73 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.73=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.73=100%
2) x=17.81%
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:
0.73/x=100%/17.81%
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 17.81% of 0.73

0.73/x=100/17.81
(0.73/x)*x=(100/17.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.73=5.6148231330713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6148231330713) to get x
0.73/5.6148231330713=x
0.130013=x
x=0.130013

now we have:
17.81% of 0.73=0.130013
