What is 20.45 percent of 83 - 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 83 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 83 is 100%, so we can write it down as 83=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 83=100%
2) x=20.45%
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:
83/x=100%/20.45%
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 20.45% of 83

83/x=100/20.45
(83/x)*x=(100/20.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
83=4.8899755501222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8899755501222) to get x
83/4.8899755501222=x
16.9735=x
x=16.9735

now we have:
20.45% of 83=16.9735
