What is 21.47 percent of 735.55 - 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 735.55 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 735.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 735.55=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 735.55=100%
2) x=21.47%
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:
735.55/x=100%/21.47%
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 21.47% of 735.55

735.55/x=100/21.47
(735.55/x)*x=(100/21.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
735.55=4.6576618537494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6576618537494) to get x
735.55/4.6576618537494=x
157.922585=x
x=157.922585

now we have:
21.47% of 735.55=157.922585
