What is 5.5208 percent of 237300 - 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 237300 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 237300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 237300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.5208% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.5208%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 237300=100%
2) x=5.5208%
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:
237300/x=100%/5.5208%
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 5.5208% of 237300

237300/x=100/5.5208
(237300/x)*x=(100/5.5208)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
237300=18.113316910593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.113316910593) to get x
237300/18.113316910593=x
13100.8584=x
x=13100.8584

now we have:
