What is 52.147 percent of 337.5 - 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 337.5 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 337.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 337.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.147% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.147%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 337.5=100%
2) x=52.147%
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:
337.5/x=100%/52.147%
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 52.147% of 337.5

337.5/x=100/52.147
(337.5/x)*x=(100/52.147)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
337.5=1.9176558574798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9176558574798) to get x
337.5/1.9176558574798=x
175.996125=x
x=175.996125

now we have:
52.147% of 337.5=175.996125
