What is 57.14285 percent of 15.1875 - 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 15.1875 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 15.1875 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.1875=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.14285% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.14285%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.1875=100%
2) x=57.14285%
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:
15.1875/x=100%/57.14285%
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 57.14285% of 15.1875

15.1875/x=100/57.14285
(15.1875/x)*x=(100/57.14285)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.1875=1.75000021875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.75000021875) to get x
15.1875/1.75000021875=x
8.67857034375=x
x=8.67857034375

now we have:
