What is 23.71 percent of 15.4 - 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 15.4 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 15.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.4=100%
2) x=23.71%
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:
15.4/x=100%/23.71%
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 23.71% of 15.4

15.4/x=100/23.71
(15.4/x)*x=(100/23.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.4=4.217629692113*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.217629692113) to get x
15.4/4.217629692113=x
3.65134=x
x=3.65134

now we have:
23.71% of 15.4=3.65134
