What is 20.833 percent of 360 - 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 360 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 360 is 100%, so we can write it down as 360=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.833% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.833%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 360=100%
2) x=20.833%
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:
360/x=100%/20.833%
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 20.833% of 360

360/x=100/20.833
(360/x)*x=(100/20.833)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
360=4.8000768012288*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8000768012288) to get x
360/4.8000768012288=x
74.9988=x
x=74.9988

now we have:
20.833% of 360=74.9988
