What is 18.333333 percent of 35.42 - 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 35.42 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 35.42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.333333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.333333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.42=100%
2) x=18.333333%
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:
35.42/x=100%/18.333333%
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 18.333333% of 35.42

35.42/x=100/18.333333
(35.42/x)*x=(100/18.333333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.42=5.454545553719*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.454545553719) to get x
35.42/5.454545553719=x
6.4936665486=x
x=6.4936665486

now we have:
18.333333% of 35.42=6.4936665486
