What is 20.72 percent of 1564 - 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 1564 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 1564 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1564=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1564=100%
2) x=20.72%
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:
1564/x=100%/20.72%
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 20.72% of 1564

1564/x=100/20.72
(1564/x)*x=(100/20.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1564=4.8262548262548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8262548262548) to get x
1564/4.8262548262548=x
324.0608=x
x=324.0608

now we have:
20.72% of 1564=324.0608
