What is 17.94 percent of 38.8 - 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 38.8 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 38.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38.8=100%
2) x=17.94%
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:
38.8/x=100%/17.94%
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 17.94% of 38.8

38.8/x=100/17.94
(38.8/x)*x=(100/17.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38.8=5.5741360089186*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5741360089186) to get x
38.8/5.5741360089186=x
6.96072=x
x=6.96072

now we have:
17.94% of 38.8=6.96072
