What is 17.875 percent of 0.188 - 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 0.188 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 0.188 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.188=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.188=100%
2) x=17.875%
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:
0.188/x=100%/17.875%
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 17.875% of 0.188

0.188/x=100/17.875
(0.188/x)*x=(100/17.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.188=5.5944055944056*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5944055944056) to get x
0.188/5.5944055944056=x
0.033605=x
x=0.033605

now we have:
17.875% of 0.188=0.033605
