What is 7.725 percent of 274 - 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 274 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 274 is 100%, so we can write it down as 274=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 274=100%
2) x=7.725%
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:
274/x=100%/7.725%
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 7.725% of 274

274/x=100/7.725
(274/x)*x=(100/7.725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
274=12.94498381877*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.94498381877) to get x
274/12.94498381877=x
21.1665=x
x=21.1665

now we have:
7.725% of 274=21.1665
