What is 27.74 percent of 188.45 - 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 188.45 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 188.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 188.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 188.45=100%
2) x=27.74%
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:
188.45/x=100%/27.74%
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 27.74% of 188.45

188.45/x=100/27.74
(188.45/x)*x=(100/27.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
188.45=3.604902667628*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.604902667628) to get x
188.45/3.604902667628=x
52.27603=x
x=52.27603

now we have:
27.74% of 188.45=52.27603
