What is 68.48 percent of 23 - 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 23 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 23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23=100%.
4. We know, that x is 68.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=68.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23=100%
2) x=68.48%
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:
23/x=100%/68.48%
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 68.48% of 23

23/x=100/68.48
(23/x)*x=(100/68.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23=1.4602803738318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4602803738318) to get x
23/1.4602803738318=x
15.7504=x
x=15.7504

now we have:
68.48% of 23=15.7504
