What is 37.855 percent of 172.855 - 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 172.855 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 172.855 is 100%, so we can write it down as 172.855=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37.855% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.855%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 172.855=100%
2) x=37.855%
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:
172.855/x=100%/37.855%
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 37.855% of 172.855
