What is 40.88 percent of 15.08 - 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 15.08 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 15.08 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.08=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.08=100%
2) x=40.88%
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:
15.08/x=100%/40.88%
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 40.88% of 15.08

15.08/x=100/40.88
(15.08/x)*x=(100/40.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.08=2.4461839530333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4461839530333) to get x
15.08/2.4461839530333=x
6.164704=x
x=6.164704

now we have:
40.88% of 15.08=6.164704
