What is 18.64 percent of 143 - 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 143 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 143 is 100%, so we can write it down as 143=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 143=100%
2) x=18.64%
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:
143/x=100%/18.64%
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 18.64% of 143

143/x=100/18.64
(143/x)*x=(100/18.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
143=5.3648068669528*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3648068669528) to get x
143/5.3648068669528=x
26.6552=x
x=26.6552

now we have:
18.64% of 143=26.6552
