What is 71.66 percent of 23.75 - 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 23.75 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 23.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.75=100%
2) x=71.66%
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:
23.75/x=100%/71.66%
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 71.66% of 23.75

23.75/x=100/71.66
(23.75/x)*x=(100/71.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.75=1.3954786491767*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3954786491767) to get x
23.75/1.3954786491767=x
17.01925=x
x=17.01925

now we have:
71.66% of 23.75=17.01925
