What is 33.51 percent of 15 - 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 15 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 15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15=100%
2) x=33.51%
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:
15/x=100%/33.51%
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 33.51% of 15

15/x=100/33.51
(15/x)*x=(100/33.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15=2.9841838257237*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9841838257237) to get x
15/2.9841838257237=x
5.0265=x
x=5.0265

now we have:
33.51% of 15=5.0265
