What is 21.96 percent of 102500 - 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 102500 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 102500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 102500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 102500=100%
2) x=21.96%
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:
102500/x=100%/21.96%
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 21.96% of 102500

102500/x=100/21.96
(102500/x)*x=(100/21.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
102500=4.5537340619308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5537340619308) to get x
102500/4.5537340619308=x
22509=x
x=22509

now we have:
21.96% of 102500=22509
