What is 18.8 percent of 7972000000 - 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 7972000000 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 7972000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7972000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7972000000=100%
2) x=18.8%
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:
7972000000/x=100%/18.8%
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 18.8% of 7972000000

7972000000/x=100/18.8

7972000000=5.3191489361702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3191489361702) to get x
7972000000/5.3191489361702=x
1498736000=x
x=1498736000

now we have:
