What is 38.24 percent of 18500 - 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 18500 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 18500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18500=100%
2) x=38.24%
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:
18500/x=100%/38.24%
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 38.24% of 18500

18500/x=100/38.24
(18500/x)*x=(100/38.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18500=2.6150627615063*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6150627615063) to get x
18500/2.6150627615063=x
7074.4=x
x=7074.4

now we have:
38.24% of 18500=7074.4
