What is 40.94 percent of 23 - 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 23 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 23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23=100%
2) x=40.94%
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:
23/x=100%/40.94%
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 40.94% of 23

23/x=100/40.94
(23/x)*x=(100/40.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23=2.4425989252565*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4425989252565) to get x
23/2.4425989252565=x
9.4162=x
x=9.4162

now we have:
40.94% of 23=9.4162
