What is 27.02 percent of 155 - 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 155 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 155 is 100%, so we can write it down as 155=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 155=100%
2) x=27.02%
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:
155/x=100%/27.02%
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 27.02% of 155

155/x=100/27.02
(155/x)*x=(100/27.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155=3.700962250185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.700962250185) to get x
155/3.700962250185=x
41.881=x
x=41.881

now we have:
27.02% of 155=41.881
