What is 21.445 percent of 996.88 - 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 996.88 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 996.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 996.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.445% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.445%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 996.88=100%
2) x=21.445%
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:
996.88/x=100%/21.445%
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 21.445% of 996.88

996.88/x=100/21.445
(996.88/x)*x=(100/21.445)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
996.88=4.6630916297505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6630916297505) to get x
996.88/4.6630916297505=x
213.780916=x
x=213.780916

now we have:
