What is 21.48 percent of 551.25 - 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 551.25 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 551.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 551.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 551.25=100%
2) x=21.48%
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:
551.25/x=100%/21.48%
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 21.48% of 551.25

551.25/x=100/21.48
(551.25/x)*x=(100/21.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
551.25=4.6554934823091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6554934823091) to get x
551.25/4.6554934823091=x
118.4085=x
x=118.4085

now we have:
21.48% of 551.25=118.4085
