What is 5.41 percent of 185.98 - 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 185.98 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 185.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 185.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.41% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.41%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 185.98=100%
2) x=5.41%
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:
185.98/x=100%/5.41%
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 5.41% of 185.98

185.98/x=100/5.41
(185.98/x)*x=(100/5.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
185.98=18.484288354898*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.484288354898) to get x
185.98/18.484288354898=x
10.061518=x
x=10.061518

now we have:
5.41% of 185.98=10.061518
