What is 4.6 percent of 15.67 - 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 15.67 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 15.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.67=100%
2) x=4.6%
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:
15.67/x=100%/4.6%
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 4.6% of 15.67

15.67/x=100/4.6
(15.67/x)*x=(100/4.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.67=21.739130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.739130434783) to get x
15.67/21.739130434783=x
0.72082=x
x=0.72082

now we have:
4.6% of 15.67=0.72082
