What is 27.57 percent of 7.38 - 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 7.38 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 7.38 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.38=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.38=100%
2) x=27.57%
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:
7.38/x=100%/27.57%
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 27.57% of 7.38

7.38/x=100/27.57
(7.38/x)*x=(100/27.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.38=3.6271309394269*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6271309394269) to get x
7.38/3.6271309394269=x
2.034666=x
x=2.034666

now we have:
27.57% of 7.38=2.034666
