What is 18.57 percent of 24.27 - 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 24.27 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 24.27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24.27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24.27=100%
2) x=18.57%
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:
24.27/x=100%/18.57%
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 18.57% of 24.27

24.27/x=100/18.57
(24.27/x)*x=(100/18.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24.27=5.3850296176629*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3850296176629) to get x
24.27/5.3850296176629=x
4.506939=x
x=4.506939

now we have:
18.57% of 24.27=4.506939
