What is 21.1 percent of 43.74 - 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 43.74 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 43.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43.74=100%
2) x=21.1%
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:
43.74/x=100%/21.1%
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 21.1% of 43.74

43.74/x=100/21.1
(43.74/x)*x=(100/21.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43.74=4.73933649289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.73933649289) to get x
43.74/4.73933649289=x
9.22914=x
x=9.22914

now we have:
21.1% of 43.74=9.22914
