What is 21 percent of 32418.64 - 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 32418.64 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 32418.64 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32418.64=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32418.64=100%
2) x=21%
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:
32418.64/x=100%/21%
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 21% of 32418.64

32418.64/x=100/21
(32418.64/x)*x=(100/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32418.64=4.7619047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7619047619048) to get x
32418.64/4.7619047619048=x
6807.9144=x
x=6807.9144

now we have:
