What is 18.235 percent of 0.15 - 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 0.15 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 0.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.235% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.235%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.15=100%
2) x=18.235%
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:
0.15/x=100%/18.235%
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 18.235% of 0.15

0.15/x=100/18.235
(0.15/x)*x=(100/18.235)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.15=5.4839594187003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4839594187003) to get x
0.15/5.4839594187003=x
0.0273525=x
x=0.0273525

now we have:
18.235% of 0.15=0.0273525
