What is 53.33 percent of 18 - 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 18 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 18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 53.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=53.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18=100%
2) x=53.33%
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:
18/x=100%/53.33%
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 53.33% of 18

18/x=100/53.33
(18/x)*x=(100/53.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18=1.8751171948247*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8751171948247) to get x
18/1.8751171948247=x
9.5994=x
x=9.5994

now we have:
53.33% of 18=9.5994
