What is 72.72 percent of 20.6 - 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 20.6 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 20.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 72.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=72.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.6=100%
2) x=72.72%
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:
20.6/x=100%/72.72%
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 72.72% of 20.6

20.6/x=100/72.72
(20.6/x)*x=(100/72.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.6=1.3751375137514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3751375137514) to get x
20.6/1.3751375137514=x
14.98032=x
x=14.98032

now we have:
72.72% of 20.6=14.98032
