What is 4.5 percent of 18126 - 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 18126 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 18126 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18126=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18126=100%
2) x=4.5%
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:
18126/x=100%/4.5%
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 4.5% of 18126

18126/x=100/4.5
(18126/x)*x=(100/4.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18126=22.222222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.222222222222) to get x
18126/22.222222222222=x
815.67=x
x=815.67

now we have:
4.5% of 18126=815.67
