What is 18.875 percent of 71.71 - 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 71.71 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 71.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71.71=100%
2) x=18.875%
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:
71.71/x=100%/18.875%
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 18.875% of 71.71

71.71/x=100/18.875
(71.71/x)*x=(100/18.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71.71=5.2980132450331*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2980132450331) to get x
71.71/5.2980132450331=x
13.5352625=x
x=13.5352625

now we have:
18.875% of 71.71=13.5352625
