What is 27.735 percent of 160 - 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 160 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 160 is 100%, so we can write it down as 160=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.735% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.735%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 160=100%
2) x=27.735%
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:
160/x=100%/27.735%
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 27.735% of 160

160/x=100/27.735
(160/x)*x=(100/27.735)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
160=3.6055525509284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6055525509284) to get x
160/3.6055525509284=x
44.376=x
x=44.376

now we have:
27.735% of 160=44.376
