What is 18.125 percent of 253.98 - 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 253.98 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 253.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 253.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 253.98=100%
2) x=18.125%
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:
253.98/x=100%/18.125%
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 18.125% of 253.98

253.98/x=100/18.125
(253.98/x)*x=(100/18.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
253.98=5.5172413793103*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5172413793103) to get x
253.98/5.5172413793103=x
46.033875=x
x=46.033875

now we have:
18.125% of 253.98=46.033875
