What is 21.671 percent of 23 - 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 23 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 23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.671% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.671%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23=100%
2) x=21.671%
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:
23/x=100%/21.671%
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 21.671% of 23

23/x=100/21.671
(23/x)*x=(100/21.671)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23=4.61446172304*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.61446172304) to get x
23/4.61446172304=x
4.98433=x
x=4.98433

now we have:
21.671% of 23=4.98433
