What is 4.15 percent of 18400 - 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 18400 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 18400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18400=100%
2) x=4.15%
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:
18400/x=100%/4.15%
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 4.15% of 18400

18400/x=100/4.15
(18400/x)*x=(100/4.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18400=24.096385542169*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.096385542169) to get x
18400/24.096385542169=x
763.6=x
x=763.6

now we have:
4.15% of 18400=763.6
