What is 18.16 percent of 4.74 - 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 4.74 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 4.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.74=100%
2) x=18.16%
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:
4.74/x=100%/18.16%
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 18.16% of 4.74

4.74/x=100/18.16
(4.74/x)*x=(100/18.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.74=5.5066079295154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5066079295154) to get x
4.74/5.5066079295154=x
0.860784=x
x=0.860784

now we have:
18.16% of 4.74=0.860784
