What is 21.092 percent of 157.149 - 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 157.149 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 157.149 is 100%, so we can write it down as 157.149=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.092% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.092%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 157.149=100%
2) x=21.092%
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:
157.149/x=100%/21.092%
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 21.092% of 157.149

157.149/x=100/21.092
(157.149/x)*x=(100/21.092)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
157.149=4.7411340792718*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7411340792718) to get x
157.149/4.7411340792718=x
33.14586708=x
x=33.14586708

now we have:
