What is 37 percent of 15768 - 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 15768 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 15768 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15768=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15768=100%
2) x=37%
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:
15768/x=100%/37%
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 37% of 15768

15768/x=100/37
(15768/x)*x=(100/37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15768=2.7027027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7027027027027) to get x
15768/2.7027027027027=x
5834.16=x
x=5834.16

now we have:
37% of 15768=5834.16
