What is 23.95 percent of 31.99 - 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 31.99 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 31.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31.99=100%
2) x=23.95%
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:
31.99/x=100%/23.95%
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 23.95% of 31.99

31.99/x=100/23.95
(31.99/x)*x=(100/23.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31.99=4.1753653444676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1753653444676) to get x
31.99/4.1753653444676=x
7.661605=x
x=7.661605

now we have:
23.95% of 31.99=7.661605
