What is 5.84 percent of 325 - 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 325 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 325 is 100%, so we can write it down as 325=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 325=100%
2) x=5.84%
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:
325/x=100%/5.84%
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 5.84% of 325

325/x=100/5.84
(325/x)*x=(100/5.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
325=17.123287671233*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.123287671233) to get x
325/17.123287671233=x
18.98=x
x=18.98

now we have:
5.84% of 325=18.98
