What is 18.49 percent of 23000 - 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 23000 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 23000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23000=100%
2) x=18.49%
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:
23000/x=100%/18.49%
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 18.49% of 23000

23000/x=100/18.49
(23000/x)*x=(100/18.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23000=5.4083288263926*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4083288263926) to get x
23000/5.4083288263926=x
4252.7=x
x=4252.7

now we have:
18.49% of 23000=4252.7
