What is 18.33 percent of 237 - 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 237 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 237 is 100%, so we can write it down as 237=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 237=100%
2) x=18.33%
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:
237/x=100%/18.33%
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 18.33% of 237

237/x=100/18.33
(237/x)*x=(100/18.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
237=5.455537370431*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.455537370431) to get x
237/5.455537370431=x
43.4421=x
x=43.4421

now we have:
18.33% of 237=43.4421
